Spalted Cottonwood Cigar

[bitshird]

This is done with from a blank that was sent to me by Guts, I'd never considered using Cottonwood for any thing but the great blanks that Bill sent changed my mind, I always thought cottonwood was a nuisance "Live and Learn"
Thanks to Guts for some much appreciated blanks

Great pen. Pens seem to be about the only thing they are good for in my opinion. They hate my air conditioner.

Ken you did the wood proud,looks great but the background kinda sent me back into my younger days,good job,glad you like the pack.

I have to find something else for a background, actually I use that to cover my milling machineand while some things look good aginst parchment paper, I think that pen would have got lost.
I see what you mean, sorta makes things hazy doesn't it [)][8D][:0]

Nice pen, Ken. I hate cottonwood trees, though. I've threatened to sneak out and poison the neighbor's tree. If I do, I'll leave some sitting around awhile for proper spaulting like yours. []

You guys are wrong about cottonwood. I use a lot of cootonwood for flat work and for making all kinds of things. It doesn't normally have a lot of exciting grain, except in the burls, the roots and some of the crotch pices, but it is a very stable light colored wood. If you get a lot of the boards, logs or sections, just send them to me.
