    Skew, other ways of redecorating include just taking items out of a room and putting new ones in!!! Sorry, jokes aside, sorry to hear about you fire - one thing we live in constant fear and dread of in amongst our bush over here. We even have our own fire unit (600L) standing by.

    Like the way you split the casing.

    dai sensei - like yours as a chrome kit - I too rubbed back to brass, not having any chrome kits .......yet

    I have made the bullet pen, others tomorrow I hope - 40 C in the shed today - lost a few kg's in perspiration .

    Sorry Skew, missed that bit. Unfortunately I have experience with fires, but at least I was insured, were you? Sounds like you might be making a new bed next. Hope things work out.

    I am going to post my pics now also. We have visitors for the next week and they will be staying where my puter is so access will be limited.
    I made the bullet pen with a slimline as suggested. I quite like the contrast with the silver and gold colour. The wood is some jarrah I had. I wanted a darker timber to contrast withe the light bullet. I work with a lady that does large bore shooting as a sport. I will ask her if she has some used shells and try to make some more of these. I quite like the effect.
    The redwood burl is just a simple pen. It is pretty soft stuff compared to our hardwoods but it came up OK.
    i haven't done anything with the horn yet. My piece is slightly short for slimlines or the click pens. As I have no other kits at present this is my only choice. I'm not sure about laminating it. Is the possible and if so any suggestions?

    They look good Terry, you certainly got some great grain going in the burl.

    I can't see any reason why you couldn't laminate the antler. I would trust anything but epoxy for the glue up, and I'd probably go for a really hard timber to try and match the density of the bone, to avoid sanding problems.

    I have laminated with it and have had no difficulties with it. Sorry I did not realise it was bit short. Perhaps that was one of the muddle up. I had them all paired up ready to wrap when a someone had to fiddle could not just leave things alone
    bye Toni

    Sorry I don't understand. Do you mean you would only trust epoxy?
    I glue everything with polyurethane. Would this be OK?

    No worries Toni. You sent a wonderful selection of stuff that I would never have seen otherwise. I am not sure what I will do when it's my turn to send out the goodies.

    Come to that, who is doing the Feb swap? I know someone volunteered, but my memory is becoming more'n'more like a steel trap; 'tis rusty, takes a bit to trigger and lets little things escape.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Sorry my wording was a bit RS. Yes, I would only trust epoxy. No, I wouldn't trust polyurethane. But hell, I'm no glue expert either

    I volunteered for March, my timber is still drying. Can't recall if anyone did for Feb.

    I have the timber, but I can't cover the postage. Not this month, anyway.

    With recent events I'm paddling furiously just to stay where I am:...
