I've been meaning to make this for a while now. The kirinite blank is called "True Blood". The kit is the EB cigar in black chrome. It's been polished through the zona grits. It's a bit different, darker, kind of gothic. Halloween is coming.

Nice pairing with blank to kit. That works well. You do not see red blanks like that much. Perfect shaping of the blank to the kit as well. Thanks for showing.

Great kit/blank pairing. I really like the Kirinite and the way it turns and finishes.

Very nice, did you paint the inside of the blank and if so black perhaps?

Yes, and yes. Well, I prepped that one a long time ago, but I'm almost positive that I painted it black. I just finally got around to actually turning it. I have a small bin full of them prepped at any given time so I can just toss one on the lathe and get turning.
