Ultra Cigar in Black Ebonite

[Ankrom Exotics]

I have been in discussions with a German manufacturer of Ebonite regarding becoming a distributor of their product. I was sent some small samples of all of their colors as well as a large block to play around with. I cut a blank today and thought it would work well with the "Ultra Cigar" from Berea.

I found the material easy to turn and was surprised at how well it polished considering the things I've read to the contrary. There was definitely a sulfur smell while working with the material but it wasn't overwhelming at all.

Blank was sanded to 600 and MM to 12000. Buffed using the Beall Wood Buff system.

Thanks for looking. As always, comments and critiques are welcome.

That's beautiful. The solid color is a great choice for such a busy kit.

Very nice. The Ultra looks great with the black Ebonite. Great job on it too, the finish looks great.

I agree that it's a pretty "Blingy" kit and probably not one I'd carry myself but I have sold a few. It's definitely not a kit for a busy blank (I did one in one of our 'Burls & Swirls' blanks and almost entered it in the ugly pen contest). I actually find them to be somewhat attractive with a solid blank. This is probably my favorite one to date.

Thanks for the comments.
