Cigars for the Mothers

[Hula daddy]

Well it is finally time to share. I have been reading all the advise here on IAP. I figured I better make the wife and Mother In-law a gift for mothers day after dropping all the money on the lathe and the tools. They were very pleased with their gift. My son and I worked on them together.

The Cigars are 4th and 5th pens I have made. Applied a CA finish to both.

The cartridge pen is the first solo pen my 12 year old made and we will find out Monday how it will go over at school. I am bracing for the phone call from school but he is so proud of it.

Anyway, thanks for sharing all your knowledge, I have a long way to go but I would not have made it this far with out all you great folks.

Thanks for looking,
Brian

Brian, some might fine pens. The women should be happy too receive them. Hope the bullet pen doesn't trigger some idiot school person to do something stupid.

Thanks Bob,

I have to admit it may not have been a good idea to let him go to school with it. We shall see.

Great looking pens! I am sure the recipients were very please.

Very nice looking pens Brian. Couple questions though: What is the blank material? Did you make the boxes also? They are very nice.

the blanks and boxes came for woodcraft.

Blue is dyed Buckeye burl and the green is dyed curly maple.

I'll second that about someone doing something stupid over the cartridge pen.
