Snakeskin Knight
Cast this yesterday ,and turned this morning, the skin was a tanned one I got a while back,and was a little thicker than I thought,in turning I had to leave a touch thicker on the nib end not to break through ,in this case it works out ok and feels good , The photo with the clip shows the join ,but most is under the clip
. Now to catch up on some powder coating .50 cals hehe, cheers ~ John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

John,
I like it especially the colour and pattern of the skin. Pity about the thickness especially at the nib end but looks like you have taken the edge of it as best you could. Nicely done on the join too !! what join??
Do not let Snake man see you used a real snake skin
Nice work.
Cheers
Tony
