Another Segmented Cigar

[KMCloonan]

I had high hopes for this pen, then I had a blowout in a weird place - the white veneer separator. You can see it pretty clearly. Also, a couple of the scallop "V"s don't line up well. I like the color combination of black & grey. It's inspired by a pen Ken (KenB259) made several years ago.

I will be making another.

It's a Cigar pen from Exotic Blanks, Antique Silver plating.

Anyway, here it is.

So close! Nice choice of colors. I always debate whether I will finish these types of blowouts and put them on a pen.

Great combination of wood, veneer and metal plating! The colors couldn't work any better together! Love it!

Very attractive choice of materials and plating. I think it is certainly worthy of a redo - Dave

I agree, the choice of materials and the antique silver finish! Just WOW!!!

I think it's gorgeous as well. You have a good eye for sure.

White veneers are very unforgiving for the slightest of misalignments. I love what you are playing with, carry on!

Thanks Mark - one immediate change will be to switch to thin white PVC cardstock. I believe I may have some of that somewhere....

gorgeous work, you're definitely on to a great color scheme

It still came out quite well. I love the reserved colors on this, especially with the antique silver hardware.

Old credit/debit/gift cards are an easy source.

Thanks Todd - I was hinting that Mark James also included some Polystyrene Sheet stock in his segmenting materials he gave me. I just opted to try white veneer, which I will not do again. I like the plastic dividers, provided you use the right glue to hold everything together.
