A favorite pen

This cigar pen is one of my favorites.
The wood is just amazing.
This is a crosscut piece of Antique Old growth Heart Pine.
It’s off a homestead near my farm.
The owner was having the old house taken down board by board and I was allowed to take a bunch of it. He said “my grandfather built this house from trees taken down and milled on the property when he came home from the war in 1870.”

wood is gorgeous !

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

WOO-HOO!!!... on loudspeaker... NOT another slimline!

That grain is neat.

Gotta admit that cigars are my goto pens for blokes and Sierra Elegant Beauties (or Aero) are for the smaller hands of ladies. 

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Absolutely a stunning pen, finish is perfect. Spectacular grain, nice find!!

The wood is beautiful and the story makes it even better!
