Here is my latest pen from my latest Amalgam-Mutt. It's semi-spalted Hackberry with blue resin. It's on a black Titanium Jr. Gent with a CA finish. All 3 pictures are of the same pen at different angles.
I like it. Obviously patterns and styles are always a matter of personal taste. I think what you created shows a great deal of ability and creativity. You did a great job with it.
