First try at realistic cigar and

[DHappold]

I always wanted to try making one of those realistic cigar pens this is my first try I have made one other and am working on two more. It was also my first try at making an ashtray. I am having a hard time with the two pieces lining up as it screws back together but it lines up and fits perfect when screwed in completely. I will take any advice.

Very nice!

Impressive indeed! Did you make the ashtray out of ash?

 

[DHappold]

Thanks for the compliments

The cigar/pen is made of mahogany, the ash is buckeye burl and the ashtray is oak.

You know, I made one a few months ago, and I sold it before I had a chance to take pictures. Your mahogany looks more like a real cigar wrap than the maple burl I used. I'm going to have to make another one after I ... well you know how it goes. Good job, please post pics of the others.
