Eualyptus Burl Cigar

[Modelmaker]

I made this from a blank I received from Stevers here on the forum

It's one of my favorite pens so far. Please let me know what you think

Wow that blank is awesome and the pen is too

Nice blank and a good job. I would however suggest making a more gentle taper to the tip. The shape of this one looks like it could be pretty bulky when using it.

Yeah - it almost looks like a cigar! [}][}]

Best,

Nice work! I agree with Gerry on the shape, the lower barrel's a little poofy. Nice looking wood, too!

 

[Modelmaker]

thank you all for the compliments
yeah, it's a bit poofy. but for me it's actually a pretty comfortable pen. it has good balance.

You both did a great job. The green goes nice with the yellow/brown. Looks like you got a nice finish on that one. But I agree, a little bulky looking. But if that's what you like, stay with it. We all have our own ideas/likes. Ya did a good job.

I've got lots of eucalyptus in my wood stash, it has really great color variations. Nice work!
