Dressed up cartridge pens

[ohiococonut]

Since I live in the best deer county in the state naturally cartridge pens sell. They're about the only pens that do around here. Here are some I completed this week. I thought I'd dress them up a little and experiment with segmenting. They're crappy cell phone pictures and it's a little dark but I don't claim to be a photographer, I just make stuff :biggrin:

From left to right..............

Completed these two tonight............

My fingers are almost completely covered with ca after messing with the leather. These will probably stay in my collection, at least for a little while.

ALL comments are welcome :biggrin:

I would love to see some more pictures. Because what I see looks great.

I really don't have a camera set up. I usually use my cell phone while I'm in the shop just to keep track of what I've made and to give me ideas. I just use Paint Shop Pro to try and fix them a little. Some day I'll take the time to make a light box and use my camera

Very nice bunch of cartridge pens.

Those pens are so far out of the box and unique that they look GREAT. People will buy them. Good work.

Oh yes, and buy your self a camera.
