Badlands Cedar

[farisdayoff]

I haven't posted anything in a couple months. Lost my job a while back and took it as an opportunity to move back home to North Dakota. I was loving it but these cold temps we have coming tonight and tomorrow are making me second guess myself.

Anyways this is a piece of North Dakota Badlands Cedar cross cut and thrown on a gatsby. The second pic is a Amboyna on a gun metal gatsby.

Thanks for taking a look!

Forgot to mention that the cedar was once a fence post on my grandpa's farm. probably out there for 100 years or so.

Histry on the chunk of Cedar will make it something special for a long time. Nicely done!


Maybe not the best time to move to the coldest spot in the country, but nicely turned!!!!

Pens look great. Nice story about the wood. I've cut up a walnut beam from my granddad's 100 year old Ohio barn(then), that I salvaged from the burn pile in 1954. Pens, pepper mills and stuff, to be made this spring from the beam.

Amazingly beautiful pens! You should make more, they'll be a hit.

Thanks! I have a few more planned. Just ordered my first Jr Gents and Cigars from Smitty's So I am excited to use some of that cedar on one of those.

I've also made a few bottle stoppers and a couple seam rippers out of it and those have been selling very well.
