Beautiful work Ed ! You really are having fun with that Rose engine ! I'm happy for you ! Thanks for posting the photos ! [8D]

Those look great.I like the Padauk and Box Elder,but not the Cocobolo[xx(] it looks way out of proportion.IMHO.

 

[johncrane]

ED! have you done a full 1/2 off the blank, maybe both blanks would look cool.

 

[Ligget]

I prefer your Cigars with the much loved beads and curves that you normally produce, I don`t like your rose lathe work on these, too over the top for my personal liking, sorry Ed.

This is solely a personal taste thing, I can appreciate the work that went into producing the finished pen though!

 

[Buzz]

Just what that kit needs to give it a lift. Great work on all of them.

 

[Hello]

I think these cigars came out better than the double closed-end barron

 

[R2]

Sorry Ed, but for me, yuck!
IMHO Rose Engine work should only be done on plain timber.

I don't care what the detractors say, I think your new toy is super cool and I especially like the Box Elder Burl,while I like all 3 of them I'm not sure if I would carry one, but they darned sure will elicit some comments, [8][8][8]

Hey, if I had a toy like that I'd be playing with it too. However, I have to go with Mark and R2 in that I don't think this works on a pen.

 

[Johnathan]

Big fan of the new lathe, not a big a fan of the pens but again, if it was sitting in my shop, I'd be using it on everything to play too, healthy balace.

 

[rjwolfe3]

Those are cool looking. I like em alot

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

Just amazing what the lathe will do,but not on pens, way over the top as Mark put it.

 

[pipeyeti]

I agree cool toy but the pens are too much. I do think it looks great as an ebelishment on closed ends, but I would keep it small. Ed you do great work but sometimes they are a little busy for me. I will also say that I have borrowed many of your designs. I just tone them down a little. Keep it up thuogh you inspire lots of us and get us to think outside of the b2b box.

 

[Texatdurango]

Ed, Like several others, my honest opinion is that I don't care for the look on pens. Bowls, platters, boxes, yes, but pens are so small the cuts are over powering.

I realize you are having more fun than is allowed in 23 states and it's your toy and your kits so full speed ahead!

Unbelievable stuff, very nice! I think the padauk cigar is AWESOME, would you sell it to me.....Please

 

[stevebuk]

i must admit, i think on some it looks good but not on others, and as most of the patterns seem the same, it can only be a matter of time before boring repetion sets in.
