Cigar Pen Bubinga and Ebony

[Ron in Drums PA]

Still did'nt get what I was looking for. I was trying to get the inlays more centered

Comments welcome

Very nice, but the maple and purpleheart stands head and shoulders above.

Thanks William,

I know something ain't right with this pen but I can't put my finger on it.

Did it crack. Looks like the wood is cracked right by the centerband. May be just the finish. Still looks good though.

There is no crack. If I'm looking at the samething, it is a shadow line that is aligned with a dark grain line.

I'd go flippers over this if I hadn't seen the maple celtic thingy first. []

 

[Jim Boyd]

I like'm both.

Very nice again Ron, maybe try to reduce your cutting angle

Ron,
I see what you mean, but it still looks impressive!

Ron,
Nice pen. What if you used ebony and curly maple and then used a black titanium kit? You may find that it will look much better. It could just be the kit that throwing it off.

Very Cool!

Maybe a bit more curve?
Alternate ebony and holly?

Wonder how it would look on a Sierra kit? Or an Executive or Atlas?

I dunno Ron, looks really nice to me.

I made this blank for a baron, but looking at it then I wasn't sure I liked it. I decided I wanted to see what it would look like on a cigar first.

I have a bunch of holly that should be dry by now, thanks for reminding me. I swear ever since a got that letter from AARP asking me to join I've been forgetting things. Besides, I'm too young for AARP, they must have sent it to the wrong Ron

Ron, I have a blank all ready with ebony and curly maple. I'll need to pick up a black titanium kit.

I really like it. Personally, I like it more than the celtic one (no offense to anyone). I am a sucker for bigger pens and darker woods.

Don't get be wrong, I never even thought about doing this kind of thing until I saw the celtic pen - so it has been great for my learning experience(s). Seeing both of these pens have me pumped to try something like this.
