Bullet pen number 1
I have been watching all those beautifully crafted bullet pens by some of the great pen turners on here and liked what I saw. I decided to give it a go and this is the results. Two 308 shells. Nothing fancy but turned out pretty good for me.
Sorry about the quality of the pics but I am no photographer these days with only a basic digital but it gives you an idea what it looks like.
Thanks to all the guys on here who inspired me to make this pen. I know its nothing like the standard that has been displayed on here but for me, its okay.
Not going to mention names cos there are so many on here who turn out beautiful bullet pens and I would hate it if I left someone out.
Having said that, special thanks Amos for your recent generosity.Reality is no background music.
Cheers John

That looks OK to me
the grain does not show well in your pics
I think a contrasting clip might take to the next level??Cheers Rum Pig

very nice pen indeed well done .
starting to get the urge to have a go at those myself , being an ex pro roo shooter i have plenty of supplies in the brass and projectile dept , and living where i do surrounded by shooters i could probably sell a few of em too.
have a fair supply of antler so i think i would go brass and antler mix .
