50/50 amboyna burl hybrid cigar

[GouletPens]

I was intrigued with the new hybrid cigars, so I made one out of a particularly interesting piece of 50/50 amboyna burl. It was one of those pens that worked great until the final finish, which gave me trouble time and time again. I almost never have trouble with CA, but it kept peeling up at the ends and I had to touch it up 4 times before it held!! A freak occurance and a real pain, but well worth it as you can see! Forgive the dust in the pictures, I haven't touched them up yet!:tongue:

Very nice blank... I have made several from this kit and they always look nice.

Overall, very nice pen!

That is one gorgeous piece of Amboyna. I love the contrast in the 50/50. The finished pen as a whole is also very, very nice.

Beautiful pen.

This is the first I've seen of this kit. I really like it. Adding it to my need to get list.

The picture doesn't even do the hardware justice too...like everything we make, it's always more impressive in person. I bought just a couple of them to see if I liked them, and I really, really do. I'll be ordering more for sure.

Looks really good Brian. I haven't seen the cigar like this before either, it looks better than the black bands typical of the kit.

Gotta love that Amboyna! Great looking writing instrument in spite of the dust!

You nailed it Brian! the blank is the best .:biggrin:

That is a beautiful pen my friend, I need to get a few of those new platings too!

i just got 3 of those kits, haven't turned one yet but did notice that its a single twist transmission unlike the other cigars, i tried the old transmission in it and it works, so you could call it a slightly modified cigar :biggrin: nobody would know how

you might wanna double check that. Mine was a double twist just like all the other cigars I've made. I bought two of these kits, and just checked the other one, it's a double twist as well.

 

[keithkarl2007]

tried it and it'll only twist the one way

I can't remember if I got them from AS or BTW, but they were called Cigar Pen Hybrid Black Titanium.
