2nd Bullet Pen
I would like to be able to announce with what great dexterity I pulled this bullet out of the packaging it came in from Fred, and how wonderfully and ingeniously it was put together. But I know what really matters is that it finally came together and I hope you like it. Thanks Fred, The wood is American Cherry Xcut, very hard wood to turn Xcut, finish is Shellawax and then CA, Amos

You done good Amos
Definitely like the real bullet nib better than the slimline.
That American Cherry goes well with the brass and the clip looks good as well.
When you talk about the finish, that is on the American Cherry part only?

Hey Amos,
Lots more betterer, Like that one I have a bit of cherry I have a couple of blanks cut on the 45 degree, I will do a couple of X cut now that I've seen what it looks like. I have a few Tassie oak X cuts and they are hard to do, I think that I spun and stuft about 5 to get 2 pens, lucky I have a heap of spare tubes.

Have to say that the "Amos" treatment certainly gives a lift to even the simplest kit hehe, from ,from "good" to "better" I guess best will be a closed end with hidden clip clip lol. Such a variety available in these simple pens limited only by your inspiration ,glad you took the time to show and inspire once again , cheers ~ John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!
