Cross bread and Himalayan cigars

[JohnU]

These are two cigar pens I recently made as an experiment. The first is a cross bread (reeves/ringneck) pheasant cigar pen on a gun metal cigar kit. The second is a Himalayan Partridge on a hybrid cigar kit from exoticblanks. My pictures are terrible and unfortunately the pens are now gone on their way to California so this is all I have. All comments appreciated. Thanks, John

Great work as always John!! I like the pheasant pen a little better as it doesn't seem to be as "busy". Both are a work of art though! Can't wait to get some more of your blanks.

WOW! Those are such great looking pens John. I bet they look even better in person.

Your blanks are amazing. Wish I could see them in person.

LOL, I thought you made a pen out of bread! I love the pattern of the Himalayan Partridge. It reminds me of the masks I bought in Africa.

John you don't make a bad blank so these are right up there as well. Great job and thanks for showing. Love to learn to do that stuff.

I love both pens John but the 2nd pen is awesome.

Thanks for all the comments. Its fun to work with new feathers but I'm not always sure the look good once they're done. The Himalayan is my favorite too. Thanks!

The Himalayan got my vote John, I like the color and pattern. Thou the first isn't bad either. When have you ever made a bad looking pen John.
