Sorry, I guess I wasn't as complete as I should have been. I have made a few of the "realistic cigar" pens and have received good comments from those who have seen them. I have received no training or instruction from anyone on how this is done. Having made thousands of pens and having been a woodworker and artist in several mediums since 1948 or there abouts, I'm now 72, I have an eye for design, form and function so figuring out what steps to take has required making several "junk" pens to eliminate the incorrect processes and steps it takes to achieve the desired results. As I state when teaching pen making and doing demos for Rockler, my way is only one way. If you have a better or more comfortable way to do what I do, don't change because my methods differ. My reason for posting about a tutorial is purely based on my concern that the idea is not original to me and I would not want to create a dissension or anger by divulging what I have figured out. I watch the videos and learn from them, I find a simpler or easier way for me to do what I have seen and, if possible, pass that on. I haven't had this much fun making a pen since the infamous golf ball pen I came up with. The golf ball idea was all mine, the cigar isn't. I didn't mean to stir up an emotional tsunami, just don't want to p%#s of folks on my favorite site. Thanks for the comments. I'll work on the write up and make the decision based on what feels right and just.
