[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 313150, member: 10447"] This is a ballpoint which I used some Hairy Oak for the barrel. I am not real happy with this photo because of the light reflection which is hiding the birdseye figure in the timber. I wonder if I should try to diffuse the light even more ?

I guess focus stacking would be beneficial here.
