Thuya Cigar

[BKelley]

This is the first Thuya that I've turned. I found it to be a strange wood to work with. Cuts well on the lathe, but sanding is different, kinda gummy. I don't normally use CA as a finish, but customer wanted it. It turned out well enough that I'll look for some more of the wood. Comments welcomed.

Beautiful pen, and the Thuya pops. The last I bought was from Woodturningz, and I was happy with it.

Great pen, and I love working with Thuya. Shoot, if it wasn't a good looking wood, i'd turn it just for the smell!!

One of the member RolandRanch sells it from time to time. Give him a PM and he might have some for sale. I have bought from him twice and the blanks were gorgeous both times.
