Still life sketches of made objects

It took me a while to decide on what to draw - a bit fed up with the same old jugs and jars.

Finally went to the garage and gathered up some tools, and took them outside into bright sunlight where we got some very strong and distinct shadows. I used an HB pencil to get the basic shapes and then chose to use a pen. The idea was to improve my cross-hatching to represent shade and shadow.

I'm just wondering whether I should have used different media to bring out the different textures of wood and metal.
