Some turnings I've done recently.

All very nice work! Thank you for sharing with us.
 
Jake, those are all extremely nice! To echo what Scott said, great pictures, the calligraphy backround is a cool touch. Tony
 
Incredible array of completed projects. All very professionally done. Looks like an equally impressive variety of wood species used. Chuck

Jake - Those are some spectacular pieces. Your photography skills stand up to your turning skills as well :good2:

Thanks, I found that you can make a beautiful piece but if you fail to photograph it well then it's a lot harder to sell. Appreciate the kind words!

Thank you, I like to use as many different exotics as I can. If curious as to what any of them are, let me know!

Everyone is always curious....

everything looks great Jake!! Nicely done....

now about that bolt action pen....did you move the bolt handle like that on purpose, and what's the reasoning? Comfort? Looks? Stability?
 
they look great Jake. What's the wood on the middle one in the bottle opener pic? Very eye catching!

I did, I feel it's more comfortable as opposed to the default positioning. just personal preference.

All great, although I think you really have the pens down. Excellent.
What camera are you using, and what lens?
Studio lights or natural light? Soft box? Hot lights or strobes?
Straight out of camera or prrocessed with LR/PS?
Turning and photography equally professional. Nice to see such attention to detail.
If you care to show your photo set-up, that weould be very interesting.
