Bamboo Cigar Pen

I warned you didn’t I but I guess the warning just came too late.

Scott as usual, this is a nice pen. I am glad to see you trying to recoup some of your “investment”.

Thanks for the post. Hopefully the Ebay sale will get you some seed money.

Have you thought about putting the pens on Ebay as well?

Thanks for the post.

that is a nice pen. i always thought that bamboo was that yellowish color. i like the look of this bamboo.

the color of that bamboo goes really well with that platinum kit. That looks really nice.

I can quit anytime I want! (sounds like denial, huh?) – Cajunpen said the bug wears off sometime around 1000 pens – Don’t think my wife will let me throw (what once was) a years tuition at a room full of pens without them paying their own way!

This bamboo is caramelized – hence the color. You can get it in a lighter, blondish white “natural” color as well. I believe its physically cooked to caramelize the sugars in the plant, rather than dye or stain it – akin to fuming white oak with ammonia.

Good looking pen Scott. Just think – I started out turning pens and now I’m an International Mogul selling and shipping pens all over the world. Really not that big – but I do get a kick out of telling my wife that I am running an International Cartel, sometimes in my pajamas – all by myself. :-)). Keep making them, who knows?

tpastore – That is the platinum cigar pen kit from Woodcraft – I think the other major suppliers have the exact same design as well.
