This pic does not show the gorgeous wood properly.

This is a pic after 5 dips of lacquer to get an idea of the color spectrum.

Very nice... I love amboyna burl.

Just wondering, how do the long cigars work without twisting in the middle? I've never seen that particular style.

thanks for posting

Hi Ron; You know me. I'm over my exasperation re: that one piece cigar. I printed off the PDF Larry posted on Penturners Paradise and am just waiting for my Black Chrome cigar kit.

I just about started with an Ultra Cigar kit this a.m., but thought better of it in case I s***w it up.

I can't get enough of those one piecers! Great looking pens.

Nice pens. I'm curious about the long cigar as well.

Great looking pens. I really love the wood on the first one. That one piece cigar pen has got me interested though...

Looks like you've been busy of late. Lovely pens, especially the first an last. Hope to make it to another meeting when they flip back to one of my days off.

Hi Ron; You know me.
Yes sir I do!

What! Here I was working on a special ed version of 'Mack's Primer for One-Piece Cigars'.

I totally understand ... it took me quite a while to grasp this before I turned one. I'm a visual type of guy and need to see something and not just read about it to grasp the concept.

I just about started with an Ultra Cigar kit this a.m., but thought better of it in case I s***w it up.
The guts are the same ... Just save the clip and nib for something else ...

I can't get enough of those one piecers! Great looking pens.
Thanks Mack

Hey Dan ... wondered where you've been. Thank you for the kind words. You turned anything lately?
