the opposite

of oops!
I didn't add anything to hide a mistake I had to take it out.
Kind of reminded me of a sparkplug so I used a shop towel for a back drop.
Bullet shell, antler, burned"rings"(accents)

 

[tipusnr]

OK - How'd you finish that!

 

[Guest]

What do you mean by finish?
As in "complete"?
or Protective coating?
It was the latter where I had the mistake.

Nice, archetypal and primordial! The material has been polished to an outstanding transparency beyond the wildest dreams! An eclectic masterpiece!

Wow, that is to cool, very nice Eagle. Really like all the detail. To bad you put the clip on it.

I think I resent that you wordsmith you![]

The clip keeps it in your pocket don'tcha know!
If you'll notice hte beading on hte top of the pen is a tad smaller than the bobeading on the bottom shel.
I had to turn of some of the brass to get that clip to fit.
The clip stays.
Buy it and you can do whatever you want with it.
BTW the clip wasn't the mistake.
See if you can figure out what it was.
Or what the "fix" is.

Wow, very nice,I even like the shop towel. []

Nice pen. I like the idea. But I agree, the black clip takes away from an otherwise great combination.

 

[Gregory Huey]

Great looking pen. I would guess the mistake to be the shell casing is faceing the wrong way. Still like the pen whatever the oop's is.

 

[Guest]

Greg-
I assure you with all the measuring turning off the lathe, test fitting both ends,Reassembling the mandrel ETC...
The direction of the spent bullets were by design.

 

[Gregory Huey]

It was just a guess no harm intended as I said I really like the pen and the time you put in it really shows. Their had to be a lot of effort to make all that come togeather.

 

[Guest]

No offesnse taken.What had happened was the casing was a tad off center,
While "skewing" of some CA I also"skewed" off some of the brass on one side of the center.
I finished skewing off the brass on theat side and tried to do the other side to match.
That expkains the narrow stripes of antle and narrow sections of casing.
It was an unoops ring.

I really like it Eagle---and actually I do like the black clip and black tip---all blends well with the burned rings---very, very nice!!!!

 

[Guest]

Tom I knew you had an eye for detail.
Precisely why I chose that clip.

 

[jwoodwright]

Another great job...[]

 

[bajacrazy]

Very creative, Great looking pen Eagle[8D]

 

[C. Scott]

What good is a pen without a clip? [] Very nice Eagle.

 

[Gregory Huey]

I agree with a clip even when I have a shirt without a pocket I'll clip the pen in my pants pocket.

 

[Fred in NC]

Pens without clips are rare, but some manufacturers offer them, usually as a purse pen. Without the clip, Eagle's pen would probably be part of a desk set (and would be a very nice desk set).

 

[C. Scott]

WHAT!? A shirt without a pocket is just as bad as a pen without a clip [][] I know, because I have many (shirts w/o pockets). []

 

[elody21]

I really love this pen! I asked my brother-in-law last night if he had and 30 g? carterages and he is going to shoot a few off so I can have some! I cannot wait to try them out!
