New style "Cigar" pen?

[pmpartain]

Anybody seen this kind of Cigar pen? I didn't really intend to get this look, but in the process it came out this way.

Thanks for looking

It does look like a cigar. Interesting modification of a Churchill.

I like the wood you used. What kind is it?

Very nice work.

Don't smoke it. That looks like some closed grain padauk, or some cinnamonwood.
Nice job on the shape. I guess Churchill smoked cigars?

Mark,

I have never seen this one, but I REALLY like it.

Nice job!

That is definitely a "cigar" pen!

The wood is some sort of wild Cherry. I bought it from a guy that was going to make a gunstock. The piece was about 4" by 8" by about six feet long. I gave 20 bucks for it. Made some serving platters and such, and I've got a couple dozen pen blanks out of it right now.

I like it, Mark. Has a rather distinguished look.

Thanks everybody. I always look for ways to change things. When I make the next one, I'm thinking of making the finial stubbier, and the non-cap end a little shorter. I also saw how Vic made one that you could post the cap on. If I can do it subtly like he did, I think the shape will still look good. Any suggestions on where you might do some wire burning?

Thanks again

Light it up and smoke it[] It looks just like a cigar. Churchill would have loved it.

I really like it. I think this pen style is just made for closed end pens. This style will be the one I try first.

 

[Papabear]

very very nice. Nice smooth transitions

I've not seen anything done quite that way, but I like it! I think the work matching up the finial is particularly impressive.

 

[woodpens]

I like it. It is very different, but I think the design works well!

Looks like something Bill and Monica might like.[]

Nicest Churchill I have seen. Not a big fan of the Churchill, but this may change my mind

 

[GBusardo]

Looks great, I'll bet that wood is very old.

I am not overly fond of wire burning on a pen, However... one black line above and below the gold band for the clip might just flow nicely with the look of the center band.

I was not going to mention it, but the cap would look much better shorter I think.

Still, that is a great looking pen. I really have to get one of those mandrels!

Great job on this. What a unique idea. The right wood was chosen for this project too.

Kind of different I must say.

But as a Cigar well lets say a different one more of a Churchill to me.[]

 

[kent4Him]

Find a Cigar shop to sell it in.
