Double dovetail cigar

[low_48]

I keep talking about getting ready for Louisville, but this is my first national symposium. I thought I'd better have a pen worth using there, and of course have something for the pen makers open rotation.
Here it is, a walnut/hard maple double dovetail cigar. I made these blanks quite a long time ago when I was inspired from this group. The double dovetail was cut on an Incra Jig. The finish is CA.

Cool! Great work. My brother has an incra jig and does those types of joints on boxes. I never considered it for pen blanks. Duh! There all kinds of possibilities there.

Thanks everybody, I'm with you JimGo. I wasn't sure I could still do it either[] I'll want to do alot of turning when I get back. Besides, I think every square inch has wood sitting on it around here. I have been thinking about renting one of those POD temporary storeage deals for more lumber.[}]Nope, I think it's time to turn!

Now that's a woodworkers pen. Nothing says fine craftsmanship like a finely crafted dovetail jig.
Even in a pen!

Very nice.

Way to go, Rich! That will inspire others to push the limits of their woodworking, whether lathe or flatwork.

Very nice pen! And like someone else said- especially to someone who does other types of woodworking and could appreciate the dovetail joints, it would be a doubly perfect gift! [][]

Beautiful! This and other posts make me want to make a better pen. It also makes me realize how far behind I am- Chris
