    Default BullOak Custom

    Well here is MkII of this style, this time I used a piece of BullOak.
    I used some 12mm aluminium rod to make the components this time, so the finial cap and the centerband are both 12mm, I also made the lower barrel a bit slimmer.
    I shortened the upper tube about 7mm, this looks a bit more in proportion with the Cigar clip. I took the shine off the chrome nib and clip to try and match the aluminium. (I notice the nib still has some shiny patches)
    2 coats of CA buffed back with steel wool, and Hutts wax to top it off.

    CC welcome, as usual.

    Thanks Peter.
    I get a feel there could be a MkIII before I retire this project

    I like this one much more than MkI, I’d be happy to own this one.
    Cheers

    Thanks DJ.
    I am pretty happy with this one, it feels balanced in the hand and not too heavy.
    I would have retired the project on this one, but I am planning MkIII to have a custom nosecone as well.
