Sorry about the pictures,I'm happy if I can get them resized so my pens don't all look like X

or is it four?

Very COOL! My brother in law is a hunter. I guess I need to have him save me some shell casings. What size are these? Nice job. I love the rifle clip !

30.06( I think) clips can be had from many distributors.
I think these are PSI,made for slimlines.(I got them from Ryan at woodturningz)
You can also get get custom clips like these for Euro-style.

I really like these Eagle!!! What are your accents and centerband?? Ebony or pickguard or??

The one with the rifle is skewed then "burned" with a wire.
The other is wenge.
It is not a CB per se.
To keep the barrel centered on the tube I turned an old OOPS down so it would fit inside the casing.
I was going to use a piece of contrasting antler but I liked teh look of the wenge so I left it there and finished it off.

Eagle, how are you getting the pen tip to attach to the neck of the brass? CA or does it press in or ? Kirk[8D]

 

[Guest]

inside each casing is either a wood or antler blank.
(I found a good place to hide my mistakes)

Those are absolutely fantastic looking!

Great looking pens Eagle . How do you go about taking the shells apart without marring the tip ??? And how do you drill out the tip to accept the refill ??

 

[Guest]

Guys and dols those ARE teh tips that come with the kit.
For some reason when the gold tips get put on the brass cartridges they look "copperish" I know the camera can change the color but even in natural light they have that appearance.The shells have already been fired.

I really like them. I like the antler with the casing. The clip is also a nice touch.

Thanks Eagle for mentioning what is inside each case. I have been trying to reverse engineer by looking at your pictures as well as others. I was thinking about setting a bullet in the case and drilling a hole in the bullet if possible. I might also try seeing if I can do some of it with my reloading dies and presses?!? Any hints could shorten my learning curve. If I can find a case whose neck is similar in diameter to the base of the pen tip then I might be able to press it in. I guess I'll have to get out the reloading books and look at specs and get out the calipers. Kirk[8D] Also I'll remember the good idea to hide mistakes!![]
