Cigars For Dad

[Shane Whitlock]

Premier Cigar Pen and Pencil set for Fathers Day.

I made one set out of walnut and my wife shipped them off before I got a chance to take pics. This set is spalted Box Elder burl. They're not a perfect match but I doubt my dad will mind. The pencil (right side) is tappered in more at the center and I think it fits the rounded gold band better. The dark round area right next to the clip on the pen is a hole that went all the way through the blank and had to be filled with sawdust and CA.

I have two more sets to make, well three, cause I want one too :D Maybe I will keep this one cause its not perfect and do a better job on the next too.

Beautiful work Shane - your Dad will love them!

[Jim Becker]

Beautiful! Another good example of the "action" in the wood being in great proportion for the small size of the pens. Wonderful, Shane!
