2 new pens, Ultra Cigar & Jr Gent

[DLGunn]

Here are two pens I just turned. The ultra cigar turned out well. It is spalted maple. The segmented one is the one I have been asking about how to do, and what kit, etc. The segmented Jr Gent didn't turn out like I wanted. But I learned a lot from it, and I will do one like this again. I love the Jr Gent kits. (I also found a place that sells em for about $7) The cap turned out great, but the other part I messed up. I did not drill perfectly straight through. That really showed up toward the small cap end. I still like it, but it could have been done so much better. It is my first try at segmented anything. The woods for the segments are maple, cocobolo, maple again, and bocote.

All comments all welcome, good or bad.

Both of the pens really look good. I want try a segmented one some day. The spalted pens always look special - you did a great job.
Where do you get Jr. Gents for $7? Sounds like a deal.

Dave,

I can only see a small section of your brick design pen at a time and find the detail fascinating, the colours are bright, you have shown a lot of the pen all good IMHO really has impact. The Spalted pen leaps out and commands further attention as well colours once again tasteful and so full of interest.

Real pleased you shared these with us heading for the stars. Peter.

The cigar's finish and the spalted maple go together perfectly!
