First Bullet Pen

[theartist07]

Please excuse the photo as i'm not that great with taking pictures but i'm working on it. This is my first bullet pen and my first try at ca finish. All considered i think it turned out pretty good. I didn't get the shine i was hoping for on the antler,but maybe better next time. As always comments and tips are welcomed.

Looks spot on. With the CA finish, don't be afraid to build up a thick layer, then take the sandpaper to it to smooth it out. Then hit it with a couple coats of thin, and you are either ready for MicroMesh, or more sanding.

Very nice bullet pen.

Is this one a 'twist' or 'click'?

I like the CA finish you did, I'm from the camp of not too much on antler is better.

+1 I would never show anyone my first try. I say 'try' because it was a total failure and it took me a year to try again. This one looks great. Nice work.

Thanks for the tips and kind words. I don't mind showing my first try because if something goes wrong i know i can get advice from the good folks here. This is the twist style pen, i'm going to do a click next time. Thanks again for the comments and a Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!!
