Pen of the Week 11 September 2017

[Phil Dart]

This week's Pen of the Week is chosen by Les Elm and goes to the extremely realistic cigar rollerball made by [MENTION=1324]21William[/MENTION].

Vic is away this week and Les didn't offer any comments to accompany his choice. In the absence of both, let me say that in my opinion, after the large amount of research that I know William conducted, and with the undoubted skills and attention to detail on show with this pen, it is a truly worthy winner.

Here is the link to William's original post - http://www.penturners.co.uk/wood-turned-items/20409-cigar-pen.html

Really a bit different ...I do like the novelty of it not looking like a pen...

Folks have been doing their best for yrs now to perfect the turning of a pen that resembles a Cigar. This is the best I have ever seen William, great choice Les.

Thanks for your comments guys, much appreciated. Also to Les for voting for me. Phil is quite right, it took longer to research how I was going to tackle this project than actually doing it. I plan to make a slimmer "Cigar" at some point as an actual user rather than a novelty, it probably won't have a band or the "ash" though.

Congratulations William, that's an amazing pen or should I say cigar
