Pen Boxes from Cigar Boxes

[Dee8go]

I had lots of empty cigar boxes lying around my house So, I thought I would use some of them to store pens in. Here's my first effort. I made one for me and one for a Christmas present for a friend.

Dee8go,

Wow that is a very attractive pen box. The wood grain pattern looks wonderful and the silver lettering and border have so much detail.

Your pen trays appear to be very well made & fitted.

But you need a few more pens to fill it up. :)

Beautifully done!

Ha ha! Thanks. Yes, I'm working on filling it up. I've bought several boxes of the Nat Sherman Suave cigars over the years and the boxes are really beautiful. I got the green, flocked pen inserts from a website mentioned on this forum, G0-pens.com, I think. The trays I made from 1/4" thick Poplar. In retrospect, I should have used a box from a larger cigar. These were Toros, which were 6" long by 50 ring gauge. Probably a Churchill box would have accommodated more of my pens. Churchills are usually longer in the neighborhood of 6 1/2"-7" long.
