The Eagle has landed.

This is my first Cigar pen. It's made from Olive wood and the finish is a friction polish from Crafts Supply USA. I have another one posted in my album made from Myrtle Burl if you would like to see it. Thanks for looking!

Did you make the eagle as well?

 

[cigarman]

WOW.. Great looking pen. Olive is one of my favorite woods. The display is fantastic.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks guys,

And no, I didn't make the Eagle, but wish I had that kind of talent.

Very nice pen, R.T. and the photo and presentation are great!

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Fred, I figure that way if I make any mistakes on the pen it's less likely anyone will see it with the distraction of the prop. []

Very nice pen. I just ordered some Bethlehem Olive wood the other day. I can't wait to get it and turn some pens.

 

[Fred in NC]

R.T. did you order the special that is being shipped from Israel? I did and I wonder how long it will be before it gets here.

lol, now there's a thought. []

Thanks melogic, it's my favorite also, at least for now anyway.

Fred, I didn't know about the Israel thing, is there any info on it here? I'd be interested for sure. Thanks!

R.T. Bethlehem Olive Wood has a special a few weeks ago, but the blanks were to be direct shipped from Israel. 30% off. I wonder how long it will be before they get here. I ordered blanks plus 2 lbs of short pieces, since I am planning to make some ebony/olive pens when I get them.

I have used some Woodcraft Olive blanks, which are actually cheaper. I am not sure as to their origin.

 

[WoodChucker]

Ok thanks Fred, I'll check and see if it's still available. I really like this stuff, it turns well and looks great.

I've bought from the folks at Bethlehem Holy Land Olive Wood Company and they are just great to work with. It took about 4 or five weeks for my order to arrive but you never know. They live very near to the fighting and sometimes like I said it may take a few weeks but it is very worth it.
