One Peice Cigar
Hi All.
Thought I would try out Les' tutorial on one peice twist Cigars. This one is done using American River Oak from my the last IAP pen swap partner. Finished in 10 coats of CA and then MM and polish. The tutorial was fun and easy to follow, especially after doind the streamline twist. Not 100% on the wood and top end was a little over turned but it is comfy to write with.

Hi Ian, glad you like it. The centre band is a long hard technical process (only joking!). All I did was hold the centre coupler with a pair of long nose pliers and gently ground of the band on the bench grinder. It only took a minute, but care needs to be taken not to grind of the thread.
