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.

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.
