Greetings IAP,
Here is another Cigar I made today. It is a Bethlehem Olive Blank and Satin Gold Cigar kit both from Woodturningz. Although it doesn't show up very good in the photos because of the reflection there is a knot on the lower section that adds a lot of character.
I used Viva paper towels to apply the CA finish on this one. The finish came out much smoother than the Whisky Barrel I made earlier today using the Bounty paper towels. I probably should have used another Oak Whisky Barrel blank to make it though so I could be sure the difference was from the brand of paper towel and not the wood species, especially since Oak has such a large and open grain. In any case, I like how the pen turned out.
