Snake meets bullet
Having admired Ian's (nai84) snake skin blanks I asked him to cast me some on Cigar tubes for some .30-06 bullet pens with Parker refills.
These blanks are even better "in the flesh" than they looked in his photographs, they are fantastic and they are so easy to turn. Perfect casting job Ian, I'm impressed
Quite frankly I don't know where he finds the time with everything else going on in his life and he kept me updated on the casting progress with WIP photos.
So, I received them on Thursday and got stuck in to them yesterday, finished off the last one today.
Here is a group shot of the 4 I got from Ian.
All are on a .30-06 Winchester bottom with Cigar kit parts and Parker refill.
