Our beginnings as human beings go back to two great achievements, the creation of the first tools-- axes and simple blades made of stone, obsidian and flint--and the first art--handprints and paintings on cave walls, animals carved from bone, and marks and symbols that would later become writing. We call these times beyond history "savage" or "primitive," but when we hold a beautifully carved stone tool we know we are touching elegance and our deepest roots.
Now Savage Pens re connects us to the roots of writing, art and the beginning of man. Lovingly made with the same materials our earliest pen crafting ancestors used. Created at the highest standards of the pen-maker's art using the best of modern technology, With each of these unique hand-made pens we hope to join you to the past and future of our writing heritage.

Congrats! That one looks great. The holder is also cute.
Suggestion: Get a photographer. I am far from being the best one around and have taken nicer pictures than that. Your general indea, though, is fantastic. That cut-tree background adds a lot of feel and texture.
HTH.

Dennis, I like the pen's size and capacity, but in all honesty it doesn't appeal to me visually. The material is lovely, but it calls for a more curvaceous shape for the body and cap, which is pretty chunky in comparison to the section.
If the cap was a smoother torpedo or bullet shape rather than the conic sections. and if the barrel had a smoothly-transitioned round end, and/or some more curvature to it, I would find it much more appealing.
Of course, taken to extremes you'd pretty much have an OS Balance ...
