    Default 30.06's

    Two 30.06's pen the first is out of Hairy Oak and a shot of how I set the top into the cartridge and the second is from Osage Orange. A repolish is needed on the casings.

    Darren,
    Great pens. Got a couple of questions for you. In the bottom piece, is the brass tube flush with the rim of the shell? When turning the wood piece, how did you get tennon sized? How does it fit inside the shell?

    Cheers,

    Rick

    Hello Darren, the pens look good, well turned, but what finish did you use? is it the photography? the finish doesn't seem quite like in some of the other pens posted?? or is it intentional? Amos

    Looking great Darren!
    Now to get an real authentic looking Rifle Cartridge pen
    you need to use actual bullets for nibs.

    Good result Darren.

    I'm also interested in the finish on the timber.
