Hello. this is my first 50 cal pen. I turned the slug portion out of solid brass instead of wood. It's 'soft' enough I turned it on my regular woodturning lathe using a scraper.
Cheers!
A good looking "stealth pen" observers will think it is a bullet or as the previous poster pointed out a miniature SpaceX rocket. Also reminds me that I have two 50 cals that need to be made into pens.
