Last of the Colt Pen Stands....

[PenWorks]

Here is the last batch of the pen stands I made from Colt cylinders I got from Jim Martin. I really like the concept. Can hold six pens in a small foot print on your desk. Five, if you rest the hammer on an empty

Redwood Burl, Spalted Tamerind, Bocote, Mylands friction polish over sanding sealer, thanks for looking , Anthony

That's a very unique idea but it must be very expensive to produce as I don't imagine that the cylinders come cheap !

 

[Tom McMillan]

Those are pretty cool Anthony!!! How much are you charging for those??

 

[Gary]

Those are pretty cool and nice looking wood too!

 

[PenWorks]

I gave $25.00 ea. for the cylinders and can't remember how much the wood was. But the redwood & spalted tamerind were pretty large blocks of stabilized wood, so I would guess I paid about 8-12 for the blanks. The first one I made, I gave to Jim, he's a good friend and client. I am thinking about 75-85 for these. Any opinions on the price, [?] If you look around, good pen stands aren't cheap.

Now how about a set of Cartridge Pens to fit them?

 

[Gregory Huey]

The price sounds like a great deal for that quality of work. TOP NOTCH.

I would imagine finding them would be about as hard as parting with the cash foe them.
THose look real classy Anthony.
That spalted Tamerind looks like marble.
Beaustiful.
I don't know if I saw that display for the first time what I would marvel at first.
The Wood holding the Chambers, The novely of the chambers or the pens themselves.
It would be hard to take it all in at once.

I like the idea of teaming those up with some of the fantastic bullet pens people are producing.

 

[Gary]

I'll bet you could find gun shops that would buy those or sell them on consignment if you want to go that route.

 

[KKingery]

That's a very innovative idea!

 

[J. Fred Muggs]

Absolutely fantastic idea, Anthony. And, beautiful work as well. Eagle, you and others doing the shell casing pens hae gotta combine the two.

 

[ryannmphs]

Love 'em, Now you just need to include 6 "bullet" pens to complete the set!

[Jake Byrd]

WOW!! I like it...how did you turn the bottom part?

 

[PenWorks]

Thanks for the comments []

I can see it now, Eagle's bullet pens in my pen holders on the cover of American Rifleman [] I would have to order a 100 copies. []

Jake, not sure what you mean. But I drilled an 11/32 hole and chucked it like turning a bottle stopper. The cylinder just sets in a recess cut about 1/4 deep , it is not secured. I thought about putting a center shaft in it so you could spin it, like a wheel gun. But if it is full of pens, who would want to spin it? Unless you were playing Russian Pen.[)]

 

[Tom McMillan]

I think your price sounds fair----I would think that those who this will appeal to would spend $100 on one though. After all, where else will they find one??---And the history appeal that goes with your friends name!!
