Despite the 98 in the shop by noon (window a/c goes in tomorrow) I really wanted to knock something out. Based on what many of you eluded to, I picked up some Cigar kits from Woodturninz. Great folks to associate with!
I had a piece of Tamarind from somewhere and made it my first Cigar. Hard as a rock and lots of cool worm holes! Next there sat a portion of scrap buckeye burl destined for the burn bin. After seeing what Chas does with scrap, it got a second look. Inlay was some malachite from CS that cut to an entirely different color than it laid in as.

Any suggestions or comments are used and accepted..Cheers!!
