Black Palm on gold Cigar

[Drstrangefart]

This one is pretty self-explanatory. It really wanted to send large chunks flying everywhere, so I had to saturate it with thin CA. Other than that, great turn. Finish was a little tricky and I'm not 100% satisfied with the finish, but I'm okay with that fact.

Looks good to me, nice job!

Finish looks mighty fine to me! But...if you really hate it, send it my way and I'll take it off your hands...

A very nice looking pen. Thank you for showing.

 

[Drstrangefart]

Thanks, guys! I DO know I like this timber quite a bit now. Makes a stellar pen.

Looks really good to me. Dude you have come along ways with pens.

Thanks! It's all a result of the advice I've gotten here and in Dad's workshop.

Looks good to the "Newbe" (me). I started on a Cigar pen yesterday but was unsure of some of the bushing sizes.

Nice looking piece on a difficult wood.

Nice job. I like the taper towards the tip on the lower barrel.

Dad was complaining about the barrels being a little too fat, but I think the kit has some room for playing with barrel shapes.
