My first cigar

[tseger]

Quilted Maple with dyed turquois inlay. This was also my first attempt at a true CA finish. Tell me what you think, but go easy on me.

Sweet deal first time.

Right[^] who you kidding

Great finish.

Looks fine - will last a long time - won't rust - won't bust - won't collect dust - that's a CA finish you can trust!!! [^]. Looks very nice.

Thanks for the nice comments fellas. There is some issues with the finish, like some little bitty white specks right above the center band that I have no idea what caused. Thankfully, you can't see them in the photo. Thanks to you guys for the tips and tricks, now I just gotta get some experience to consistently get a good finish. I've got a pen on the lathe now that I have finished and sanded down 3 times and still can't get all the scratches out. It is a stabalized curly maple. Tim

Thanks for the compliment Tommy! I still have a long way to go. A few imperfections that you can't really see in the picture. (got a long way to go on the pictures too) Tim

Don't like the background. Love the pen and the finish looks good.

Thanks for the comments. Gary, I dom't particularly like the background either, but it's all I could come up with at the time[]. Tim
