A brace of cigar pens for the craft fair we're going to in October. These are soooo much easier to do with a proper scroll chuck! Walnut - sapwood for the ash section.

Very smart!
Marvellous young David I love them, now that would make a great Clumsy pen, I'll have to remember and steal this idea later.
I think these break the mould for ingenuity
How did you do the cigar band in the end?
Beautiful boxes too, very well thought out, can I ask what the two little dots are under the lid? I assume soft pads but they look like you marked the hinges on the wrong side
I know that's not true so please elaborate.

David, Brilliant, keep the ideas coming.....

The cigar band was printed on paper, coated with a few coats of acrylic clear varnish to make it glossy and waterproof, then cut out with a craft knife and wrapped around the pen. A dab of paper glue on one end secures it to the other end, so they slide on the pen barrel if pulled or twisted.
Don't you just love the way some peoples minds work !
I think these are fabulous, the overall effect is stunning.
