Well Well Well !!
The snake skins are looking great, I really like the one with the head at the nib end, you can see it very easily in the photo.
Not sure that I like the clutch pencil kit, it looks too unfinished IMO.
Keep them Snake Pens coming !!
Cheers
Tony.

How many snkaes have you got. They are all ( except for the last one) very nice pens indeed. I tend to agree with you the last one looks unfinished and crude. ( sorry)

Heya Ian,
Love the outcome of the skin you've gotten, well cast, didnt see any bubbles, and followed it from your original "idea" post. Very nice result, hope the guy is appreciative of the work involved.(for its uniqueness alone i'd be making it a keeper)
As for the pencil, perhaps if you rounded over the top edge it might make the transition to the top more appealing, pehaps a corian or plastic bush for that end or pin chucking it to round it over. just an idea. or maybe a bead, for more shape.
Neal.
