I got the chance to turn a few this week. Here are two cigars:
The first is Amboyna burl with Padauk. I blew out the lower barrel and couldn't rescue it. I am satisfied with the combination and feel the pen looks much better in person than in the pictures.
This is a maple burl.
After assembling this last one I realized that I had switched the bushing and the lower barrel is small (but I think acceptable) at the center ring and at the cap the barrel is over sized . I will disassemble it when I get home from vacation and turn the top down to the proper size.
