I've only been at this for a short time, but these are a couple of my completed pens. Any feedback would be appreciated.

This is a cigar pen made from Black & White Ebony.


This is my first completed attempt at a Celtic Cross.


Americana Rollerball in Tulipwood


Cocobolo Cigar

Desert Ironwood

Bob,

The ebony is a red cross
The celtic cross looks dead on! Everything is very nice. My personal preference would have led to a different plating, just because I think the light wood is better with gold color or black. BUT, the pen is VERY well done, and my comments are opinions - not statements of objection.

I prefer your shape of the ironwood, although I personally do a lot of "fat" cigars, I think the cocobolo is too exaggerated.

All in all, they are GREAT pens. Thanks for showing them!![]

Bob,
I wish you new guys would stop coming here and showing up us older new guys! [] [)]
Nice work -- the fit and finish of each pen looks just right.

Ed,

Thanks for the input. I kind of agree on the shape of the cigar, but I've seen so many fat ones that I thought I'd try a couple.

I can't seem to get the B&W Ebony to display, however if you click on the Red X, the picture comes up.

Hi Eskimo --

I can't make a cigar fat enough to suit my son; I think yours might actually satisfy him. I wouldn't even try the Celtic Cross. The Americana is my personal favorite. I love Tulipwood and probably turn it more than anything else.

Does the Cocobolo make you break out? I'm really allergic and sensitive to poison ivy etc., and some people have problems with Cocobolo, so I've never bought any.

Beautiful stuff.

very nice looking group. good fit/finish on all of them.

Weird,

It does come up and so does the name. I suspect your ampersand (&) in the title is pissing off the forum software, try removing it.

The Pen looks great, tho!

 

[eskimo]

Thanks, Ed. Removing the ampersand did the trick.

nice display bob. very good job on all accounts.

 

[Jerryconn]

Very nicely done on all fit and finish look ALOT better than my early attempts!

 

[rcarman]

I love the ironwood cigar. All look fantastic.

Nice work - you nailed the fit and obviously got the blanks squared well. Your cross looks good as do the glue joints. Very good work.[]
