Another Cigar in a Brooks803 blank

[EarlD]

I was so stoked after the "Blueberries and Cream" pen I couldn't wait to try this one. Thought I'd show a "before" picture, nothing turned, just cut, drilled and mounted on the tubes:

Here's what I found inside:

Jonathan, is this a "Vintage Red" blank??

I painted the holes and tubes with red spray paint.

This was finished with my usual process, mm to 12,000, One-Step, then the Beale buffing with white diamond. I did have to touch this one slightly with P400 paper.

Thanks for some nice blanks, Jonathan!

It looks great Earl. I actually think that one was a Vintage Cinnamon blank. Reverse painting it red gives it a really warm look. Fit N Finish are spot on.

Btw: I like how you labeled your bushings for the cigar kit. Hard to get the cap/body mixed up with those.
