This is a pen I made for a customer that happens to be a professional photographer. I threw this in as an extra to the order since she'll be sharing my work with her clients. This is padauk fitted with a black titanium cigar kit from Woodcraft. The finish is 6 coats of Dr.'s Woodshop Pens Plus after sanding to 4000 grit, then sanding up to 12000 after the finish is applied. Turned out to be one of the better pens I've made to date. The pictures don't even do justice how vibrtant this wood is. I made her a matching pepper mill and another pen, all from Padauk. My workshop/apartment looked like a martian landscape when I was done. These are pictures she took and sent back.
