Bullet pen
One of my neighbours gave me some antler so I made him a pen using some of it and one of GPW's bullet kits
This is my first pen for a while and I hope to make some more very soon

Looks good with the antler Sam.
I just finished 2 of these pens this afternoon with camo blanks on top, they seem like a pretty good quality kit.

Hi old mate
Really like the Penkit and pen with the colour and fuzz look of the Antler.
Ordered some Nickle cartridges from yankmerica to make some individual type ones in the next while will also look at the GPW kits I think they are look alikes but as a lay person I cant tell the difference.
Great you are busy in the workshop again much love to Pat and yourself.
Kind regards Peter.

Most impressive Sam.
I want to try a bullet pen, but Don is not so keen. One day I will surprise him.

Thank you al.
The kits are a breeze to work with and they are right up there in the Quality
John you are correct a great pile of antler has descended here last evening.
More than enough to knock out some more bullet pens and he want to now purchase some as well, good deal.

Great work Sam. You haven't lost that magic touch. Love the antler, smell is a bit off putting when turning but apart from that always looks great. Nice to see you back in the harness again Sam. Look forward to seeing more from you soon.

Cheers John

Really like it that you left some “stag” or bark on the antler, gives the entire pen a overall better look in my opinion and no chance of anyone having to ask what the top is made from.
Straight antler with no stag can sometimes end up looking like acrylic."That's why I love my computer,,,,,,,, my friends live in it."
