Great first efforts

On the pencil in the middle the metal part of the nib looks slightly off set to the wood, if this is not a trick of the camera it could be that you have an alignment problem with either your lathe or mandrel, not a criticism of your workmanship Jim, just an observation on something that's easily rectified.
