Here's the pen that I sent Kenny for the 'other' pen swap. He sent me that awesome Curly Eucalyptus cigar with the nice gum line, see his post for pictures of that one. Thanks again, Kenny!
My original pen got squashed by my own butt after a postal snafu and an unfortunate 'plopping' in the seat of my truck, ended up cracking the tube. Always need another shop pen, right? Gah. Wish I could write my way into a clean shop. heh
This one's made from curly fire birch that I got from Scott Muth's unfortunate liquidation sale (I never like to see another turner 'going out of business', but apparently that didn't deter my 'swoop-n-nab' instinct - just wish I could've swooped as fast as some of you vultures!). I wish he'd have had more of these blanks, they are amazing. I've only got 6 left, and they are definitely going on the shelf with the good stuff.
This one doesn't have much curl to it, but the spalt line running through it was the best of the bunch, from what I could tell, so I matched it with a black chrome cigar from Ernie at Bear Tooth for the best contrast.
