My first cigar

[DLGunn]

Here is a cigar I made from Bocote and a gun metal kit from Woodnwhimsies. It is the first pen I have turned that wasn't a slimline.

All comment and critiques are welcome.

Thanks for looking.

[glycerine]

good work. Did the bocote dust make your skin break out!?

 

[johnnycnc]

Nice job on your first Cigar!

 

[DLGunn]

Thanks for the positive comments. No, glycerine, the dust did not affect me at all. About the only thing that bothers me is dust from MFD. And once I bought a lathe, I have almost forgot about flat work.

Agree with Bree - hey, sounds like the start of a nice rap.

I make far too many cigar pens. I like them a lot - the size shows the wood off nicely and I like the heft and feel in my hand.

Great first pen, the blank finished off nicely. What did you do for the finish?

 

[Jgrden]

Great shape, wonderful pattern.

Marc,

I used CA/BLO for the finish.
