Great looking pen. I like both ash trays.

well done grasshopper. That's as good of a first shot as I have seen. I would prefer the larger ashtray. If you're staging for photos I suggest you chop/grind some of the buckeye burl and put the dust and chips in the ashtray, really convincing that way. At Christmas my daughter jumped all over me saying, "I can't believe you have started smoking again", the RC was in an ashtray near the recliner with the false ash in it.

One thing Bill, Why not make the cap flush with the bottom instead of having to cut a recess?

That looks great! I prefer the larger ashtray too.

I like the larger one. I feel the live edge one takes away from the pen because it is more obvious and so I keep looking at the ashtray, when I should be looking at the pen.

Excellent Cigar Pen Gerry,
I'd go for the large one also.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Gerry, I love this.
(Personally I would turn an ashtray with appropriate sized grooves, but these look OK)
I'm guessing that the body (thuya) does not "HAVE" to be stabilized, right?
(never mind, I read the rest of the article! why can't I delete the post?)
I really want to give this a try.

Gerry,
I tried about all of the options but that's not to say the process I used can't be improved on. If you can get it to work without the "groove" please go for it and post it here so others can benefit. I'm married for 56 years but certainly not to this process. The picture on page 6 shows why the groove worked with this kit. The "new and improved process uses a magnetic kit and may work around this issue better. Thanks for reading all of this gobbeldy gook.

If for some reason you can't open the library instructions I am glad to email it to you.
