Cigar - Cigar pen.... still not perfect...

So I've been toying with making a Cigar pen look like a cigar. After several failed attempts, I was very close on this one, but there are a few flaws that I'm not happy about. The got a little nick in it and the top to slightly proud so it doesn't line up flush.

The pen is made from walnut burl, which looks alot like a maduro wrapper. The band is under several coats of a CA finish.

Let me know what you think!

I'm looking on your webpage and the leopardwood looks very close (a little to dark) but the grain looks like it matches the veins in the tobacco leaves. The Bubinga also looks close but the grain is too straight. I don't know about cherry, I've never seen it turned into a pen.

I think as long as you get it close, the cigar band would "seal the deal" aesthetically, so to speak.

I'm sending you a PM.
