Water Buffalo Cigar

[ThePenWizard]

I just tried my hand at turning a water buffalo horn for an ultra cigar (ooooh that smell).

 

[gketell]

oh yeah, it smells to high heaven. I tend to put a fan directly behind me blowing out the garage as I turn and sand. Saves ME from smelling it. My neighbors, on the other hand...

Great looking pen!

But the pen doesn't stink!! That's a beauty!

Beauty of a pen! Do you leave it open or do you put a CA finish on it?

 

[ThePenWizard]

Yes the pen was finished with CA

Don't overheat it. Drill 1/4" then wait. Repeat until drilled through.

Always have a fan behind you blowing at the blank. Your nose will thank me for this.
