Couple of Cigar Pens.

[WoodChucker]

I've been stuck on the Cigar Pen kits lately because I bought to many and need to clear out a few. These are two of the Cocobolo blanks that I bought from Bill (ilikewood). Thanks for looking!

R.T., both of those are fantastic...really nice work.

 

[DCBluesman]

Beautiful, R.T. That purple hue in the top one makes me want to turn some tonight!

 

[Jake Byrd]

Wow, those are nice. I really like the finish...what did you use? If you have to many kits, I would be glad to take a couple off your hands, lol. Just kidding.

RT... Great looking pens.

 

[jwoodwright]

Very Nice. I like Cigar Pens for their size. []

Hate all the little bags of parts...[:I]

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks everyone, I use a friction polish from CSUSA, it's there own brand. I've used a few other's but really like this one the best.

 

[Jake Byrd]

jwoodwright...I use the bags for giant pumpkin seeds(to keep different genetics seperated)

 

[WoodChucker]

Jake, you lost me, what are you talking about?

 

[DCBluesman]

I think he was referring to John's hate for the little bags.

 

[WoodChucker]

lol, thanks Lou! Guess I should have looked up.

 

[Jake Byrd]

yep, thats what I was doing, lol.

R.T.:

OK...I'm puzzled??? I've got the current Craft-USA catalog and I only see four products that might qualify as friction polishes. One is by "HUT", one is by Shellawax and one is by "MYLAND." And then there is the generic "FRENCH POLISH." Are you using one of these or someting else?? Whatever it is, it sure looks good in the pictures!!Thanks.

Very nice RT!! That finish does look great!!

 

[WoodChucker]

Randy, this is the one I use:

Thanks Tom!

R.T.:

Near as I can tell from the catalog, Craft-USA repackages the MYLANDS Friction Polish in their own containers for quantities less than 16.2 oz. which is what the manufacturer supplies. You can order it as Mylands as an 8 oz. bottle or they supply it in their beginners and starter pen turning kits as 4 oz. bottles.
