Patriotic 50 Cal.

[maxman400]

This is my entry in the casing contest, the :usflag:"Patriotic 50 Cal." :usflag:since it is .50" I used that number for my plans. I segmented the bottom and top of the case .50" from the beveled edge. I turned the the blank down to size then cut a tenon on each end to fit inside of the brass. The blank is Red white and blue and is from PSI, it is pressed in then glued. Every thing is wet sanded to 1500 then MM through step 5 and plastic polished.
Comments Welcome, Thanks for looking. :biggrin:

Wow Max...that is totally off the wall different! You are definitely raising the bar for everyone else! I like how you did your nib section.

Sure is a nice pen. It is sure to garner a major prize.
BTW I like the display stand, where did you find it?

 

[maxman400]

Thanks, I found the stand at a yard sale, I believe it is the bottom of a glass rocking horse.

I like cartridge pens but I can't get into the look of the 50 cal. However I know good work when I see it and that is some good work.
