First segmented cigar

[tseger]

Fiddleback maple and bocote with black walnut veneer

Still trying to work on my photos.
Here's a little closer look.

Thanks for looking. Tim

Beautiful. I would love to see some in process picks of the segments if you had them.

Also how did you make the walnut veneers? I want to do some segmented work, but I don't have a drum sander and almost sanded my thumbnail off last weekend with the belt sander.

Very nice, I think it may look even better without the gold trim rings.

Thanks. Sorry, I don't have any "in process" photos but I plan to start another similar to this and I'll try to get some. As for the veneers, it is a variety pack that I bought at woodcraft.

I hadn't thought about it without the gold rings. Do you have to change anything to leave off the rings, or just leave them off? This is only about the third cigar I have made.

Excellent Pen. I have to try a segmented pen soon! The colour contrasts are amazing.

Very very nice looking pen. I like that Segmentation look that's shown up latley, Definatley going to have to make one like that for myself.

Honestly, I dont know. I would assume on the upper half it wouldent matter, what I didnt think of is the one of hte lower end, you cant get rid of.

Thanks fellas, I got the idea for this blank from a photo on this forum, then changed it a little bit. Man, I think I enjoy creating the blanks about as much as I do turning the pen. I just gotta get better at it.

Thanks Eric, I still can't get the "pop"in my photos like alot of the other members here do. I can't seem to figure it out. Tim

Thanks for all the compliments. This pen will be a gift for a friend of mine for helping me sell my pens. He will receive it tomorrow. Hope he likes it.

Tim, thats the same concept I used on the pith pen I made for BigL.
I used ABW,padauk and curly mahogany. I wonder was it this photo that inspired you.

 

[tseger]

Ken, i can't see the pic in your post.(Little red X). Could you try to re-post it because I can't seem to find that picture now. Whoever did the original, I'd like to give them a big thank you. Tim

 

[ken69912001]

Should be fixed now.

 

[tseger]

Sorry, that's not the one I saw. But that is one amazing pen. I'm still looking for the other pic. If I find it, I will post it here. Tim

This is the photo that inspired this pen! Tim

 

[TBone]

Pen looks great, finish looks great and pic ain't bad either

 

[GaryMGg]

Tim,
I think you took inspiration a step beyond--your combination of BW, FM, & Bocote is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.

So I log on and see this cool pen and think...hmmmm....looks familiar. I keep reading with a bigger grin on my face and was about to post my photo when you linked it for me. Glad to give you a little creative boost. I am sure I stole it from someone else. I love bocote as an accent wood. I had a large chunk for a game call and so I was able to cut some thin slices X-cut. Keep up the good work. These blanks are really not that difficult but they sure look cool.

Hey now, I didn't steal it, I just borrowed it for a little while[] Seriously though, Thanks for posting. I really liked your pen and I had been looking for something special for a friend, so I decided to try it. Thanks again for posting it. Tim
