My first cigar and my millionth keychain

[Stacie]

This is my first cigar and my first segmented.
This redheart with cedar on a black cigar kit.
I managed to use the wrong bushing on the clip end center, so it is a bit under turned.
My hubby finished it with CA and MM it all the way up.

The keychain is 2 pieces of scrap glued together.
The top is cocobola and the bottom is ebony.
Finished with CA (I did this one), and MM all the way through.

I am very proud of you babe. Even though the clip end on the cigar was under turned, I think your segmenting is really nice on this. Nice looking infinity symbol. That key chain has been done for like a month I think, we just didn't have a kit for it for a while.

Very nice! I am glad to see couples turning together.

Wish I could get my better half to turn something.... I think I'm wearing her down a little(not really). Got any helpful hints to get her in front of the lathe?

Hate getting the wrong bushings....but looks okay on the cigar. The segmenting helps pull your eye away from the undersizing of the CB.

The key chain is great use of 'scrap'(if there's such a thing when turning)!!!

We have 2 lathes. I think that helps.

OHHHH,, no wonder he called her babe,, i thought man, is he taking liberties.

Very nice work. I like the cigar pen, one of my favorites.

Stacie,
Have him show you how to add an ooops band of the accent wood and make a sellable pen out of all your hard work. If he tells you he doesn't use oops bands, take him to confession on Sunday.

If I called my bride of 48 years "babe" she'd be checking the whole house to find the other woman. Well maybe she'd really just be looking for my latest "unauthorized" purchase.
