The slimline pen completes the pen/pencil set for my dad for father's day. Its red oak finished with 3 coats med CA and fancy black chrome kit. I could have been wider on the nib end, but he will like it I am sure.
The first cigar is Bethlehem Olive wood. I really enjoy working with this wood. It turns so nice. I think I am giving this pen to my pastor who has really been helping me these past months. I finished it with PSI lacquer dip with two coats. I used a chrome kit this time. The middle top could have been wider a bit I think.
The last cigar, I am the least happy with. Its from aromatic cedar. I put some groves in it using my parting tool. I again used the PSI lacquer dip about 3 coats as I can still smell the cedar which is fine with me. I used the black chrome kit on this one. Not sure what I don't like about it really but something just seems blah lol.
On the slimline and cedar cigar I did MM the wood all the way up. The olive wood was so smooth after using the 600 grit I didn't bother with MM at all.
Let me know what you all think. I know there are flaws on some areas. Good/bad, all comments are welcome.
