It's Bolt Action Thursday

[Band Saw Box]

It's bolt action Thursday here is mine. A Gun Metal PSI Bolt Action dressed in Cocobolo. I had a few blanks I was thinking about using, I showed the all to Evelyn along with the kit and she picked out the Cocobolo. I think she got the pairing spot on. The finish is my normal WTF. As always any and all comments are welcome.

Nice fit and finsh Dan, I think she got it spot on too.

You and I have that in common Dan. We always get the last word in our house and it's "Yes Dear". Great job on the pen!

 

[Dan Masshardt]

Are you trying to make up a new tradition? Lol

Thank you for your comments. Edward Evelyn does have a good eye for paring kits with blanks. Jim it's nice to get that that last word in. Dan I think it high time a new tradition is started. It is always a good thing to listen to the misses or from were my kits come from.

Dan, no matter what kit you use Cocobolo is always a good wood to use. One has to try pretty hard to mess up the blank, unless you forget to get rid of the oil in the wood.

OIL IN THE WOOD ...what are you talking about?

Dan, It is not often that Evelyn is wrong, and she is right again!
Cocobolo with a my favourite Bolt Action, "Gun Metal"- A Winner.
Great Fit and your traditional WTF Finish.
By the way how are you going now? Have you thrown the Crutch Away?
Great Pen Dan.
Congratulations,
Brian.
