The vintners logo was a mallard duck. I just painted it with acrylic paint. I also use thin Sharpie in some requiring fine detail work.Beautiful, John. Is your duck a decal or inlay? Whichever, they are beautiful pens.

john, really like all of the pens. Are you able to turn down a cork on the lathe to fit a cigar blank or are you able to find some really skinny corks somewhere? Seems like you would lose the logo on the cork?
No documentation. Just conversations. I am happy to share information.Wow, these are beautiful. I am quite new to pen turning and have not seen corks used before. Any chance you have documented this work somewhere?
We live near the Finger Lakes Wine Region in Upstate NY and I expect the use of wine corks up here would go over very well.
Again, beautiful work!
I Don't no what to say John?
Beatiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll bet you get some nice snow drifts off Lake Erie.Corry, PA is a couple hundred miles due west of here. I'm about 15 miles east of Elmira.
Y'know what they say about opening a bottle. It has to be finished. I still have allot of your pine cones.Hiccup...boy those are really nice! Hiccup...did you drink...burrrp...all
those John?:biggrin:
Really nice work John! Stay warm up there in Conroe!
Start by using a 15mm brad bit and then cut the wedge out. Science: if you gave me ten cork, I could finish nine of them. One would most likely be ruined during the drilling process.for a cigar pen do you still start out drilling with a 10mm or do you go bigger and then cut the wedge out. Do you have it down to a science or is a little bit of trial and error?
