2 more in process

[Dale Allen]

The top one is from a thyua burl blank. I got 6 of them that are 7/8" sq x 5" long with great color and figure.
The bottom one is a 1" sq x 6" redwood burl. I think I'll have to order more of those. It is at .936" now and hopefully I won't loose much of that in the process so I can use one of the cigar labels I have that are for a really hefty cigar.

Looking nice Dale. I look forward to the final result!

I'm a little concerned about the redwood burl because it is not stabilized.
Should be an interesting challenge.

2 of my 3 favorite burls right there, they should make beautiful pens.

I get the impression that you are making "faux cigars" . Is that a good guess ?

Yes it is.

Here is the final result with the redwood burl. It was not a problem to turn and ended up being a 58 size (a little more than 7/8" in diameter).
It's also over 6.5" long. One of the largest I'm made. The other one will have to wait a while.

Really nice Dale! Very, very innovative! What adhesive do you use to apply the labels and do you seal them with anything, ie CA or resin?
