Cherry burl Ultra cigar

[greenmtnguy]

Cut up this burl with the eyes in the sapwood also. It's pretty common in other wood, but I haven't run across it in Cherry. 8 coats of thin CA, wet micro meshed. I'm not a big fan of the ultra, but if it sells, I will be of this one anyhow.

Alton, you my man are churning out some fine looking stuff. Pictures, finish and hardware all look spot on.:wink: Now, would you please quit embarassing me?:redface:

Alton that is a beauty, I am not too keen on the Ultra either I prefer the older version!

 

[rpearson]

Not crazy about the ultra either but mighty fine work! Who knows, it may become a very popular kit/style for buyers...

Gorgeous wood. Not sure about that kit.

Excellent pen and finish. I like the ultra cigar. I think you will sell it.

Very nice.
One thing I have found about the ultra is that I do not like the clip and the nib being different colors. So that is a simple solution, buy equal amounts of both types and swap the clips.
You can also make a nearly all gold and nearly all silver one which looks cool too. The only contrasting metal is the ring on the top of the finial.

That is a great looking pen. The ultra kit is growing on me. SWMBO likes it and has put in a request for one.

That *is* an extraordinary looking pen.

One of the nicest color in wood. One of my favorites and you did an excellent job.

The ultra isn't one of my favorites, but you did a nice job with this one Alton. Great piece of wood.

 

[jttheclockman]

I do not mind the ultra. It has its place. You did a great job with that pen and that blank. Thanks for showing.
