cigar

Not too sure about the woods, but an interesting story: Went to a street fair here in Tennessee. Didn't show this time. Saw this guy with pretty amazing cutting boards and bought a small 12" bread board with this pattern. I told him why I was buying it. I wasn't sure whether or not he was happy...

This is a PSI glass fiber blank on a gold and black ti cigar I like these blanks although, unlike the carbon fiber, there is a seam (on the back in this case). -Barry

I am new to this but here is my latest. I have only turned a half dozen so far. Please excuse the photo qualitly.

Here's a cigar pen I made from some of Wolfdancer's Lace Redwood Burl. Thanks again, Rod! Turned between centers and drilled on the lathe. Check out how accurately centered the hole was drilled. Sanded to 1500 wet/dry automotive paper. I used several coats of CA, sometimes adding a BLO wipe...

Made this today with my new celtic knot jig. I have one that cuts 60 degrees but this one is way up there .Didn't measure but guess around 75 degree or so. It runs nearly the full lenght of the blank then I cut it in half. This was a olivewood piece I had and pick guard on a Ultra Cigar

This was one of those "Can you do this for me" EXPERIMENT. The bottom is a .45 Long Colt and a .45 ACP stacked on top. The top tube is chemically darkened and has what was two pair of hand cuff ear rings attached to it and then cast in Alumilite using Charlies (newlondon88)resin saving mold. One...

I call it the Long Fellow. Koa w 6 coats of CA only. I’m looking forward to making a longer one next time!!

Nothing too special compared to much of what is posted around here, but here it is... First, a Buckeye Burl from isaacrapelje on a Chrome Zen with CA finish (my first Zen and I really like them) Second, an Ancient Mars from exoticblanks on a Platnium Cigar. As always, amazing blanks (my first...

Gotta love that Bethlehem Olive Wood.... I sure do!

Here is a cigar made from Red Oak - I wouldn't have made it from red oak because I think it is kind of plain, but the guy at work who was paying me for it handed me the wood and wanted it made specifically from a piece of red oak cutoff: the rest of it is part of a rocking chair and other...

This Is my first casting using NewLondon88's risen saving cigar mold, and true to his word it only took 1 oz. of Alumilite to fill the mold. turning time was cut in half due to not having to cut a lot of extra away. I used cactus wrapped around the tubes (painted black) and red Alumilite. Like i...

I'm sure other pens do this as well, but how do you get that little click to go away on the Cigar? It's enough to drive a guy nuts! Especially in a very quite setting. I think it is caused by the pen ink tip hitting the inside of the nib, but I don't know if there is a "fix-it" solution. Please...

I was motorcycling all weekend out in PA so I didn't get to do any turning. I was jonesing for it bad... so I turned a Cigar last night after work. I used a copper kit and some Honduran Rosewood that I scored over at Rockler last Friday. I found this bottom of the barrel board which looked like...

A little while ago I posted a couple of photos of some "memorial" pens I made from Canadian money blanks that Neil (wolftat) cast for me. I think I mentioned at the time that I blew one blank up (actually, the lower half of a cigar blank) on the lathe. Well, I got to thinkin' .... The...

Enjoyed some time in the shop today and this was the result..Cocobolo segmented with a black acrylic from woodturningz, black veneer and aluminum.. Finish is ca.. Comments welcomed, thanks for looking

I got some spalted maple on a consignment sale a couple of weeks ago. I milled some into blanks an turned one Saturday. I tried a little Tivoli-esque thing with some beads. Some people tried writing with it and said that they liked it which actually surpised me. The pen was finished with...

After months of not having time to turn on my lathe, I finally turned a pen this afternoon! We received some new goodies this week and I couldn't resist making some sawdust. It's Maple Burl finished with Shellawax on a Cigar Hybrid 18C pen kit. Hopefully the background piece will turn into a...
