    Default Clickable Bullet Pen in Rimu

    I recently ordered some clickable Bullet Pens from Timberly. Having done a few Bolt Action Bullet pens I wanted something a little different. Twist style bullet pens dont do a lot for me, they just seem a little ordinary.

    After spending some time in the shop today in 30 + degrees ( which is pretty hot for NZ ) I put together a couple of these pens. The are a finicky pen to construct and I'm not sure as to whether I will do too many of them as the time to produce one is more than I had anticipated, however as the saying goes "practice makes perfect", so hopefully I will get the time down a bit.

    They are a nice looking pen though. I will be doing some Sierra click pens as well as some Slimline Pro Gel pens as well as some folks like the twist but a good many others have said they prefer the clickable pens.

    Heres a couple of shots I did that I will include on my Website as well. Gold 30 cal click Bullet Pen done in NZ Rimu with CA finish.

    Thanks Les. Yep its good wood to turn, the dust is nasty stuff though, dust masks are a must.
    BTW just for interest my son is currently staying with friends at Indian Head just out of Regina, and I was considering getting him to send me some kits.
    Whos the best supplier in Canada?

    penblanks.ca would be my recommendation for a source. They have a very good web site and a good variety. And I have no involvement with the firm apart from buying from time to time.
