Snakeskin on a bullet

[Drstrangefart]

I got this remnant in the mail. It was an 8mm tubed blank. I glued a 7mm tube inside it and got it turned down. I've been out of the workshop for some time now, so it was good to get some turning done.

Nice pen. I like the snake skin. The casing looks gray is that cause by the camera or what?

There's some pretty serious gray between the snake scales. That could be what you're seeing.

I'm talking about the bullet it self.

The grey on the pen is from the light in the flatbed scanner. I also didn't polish it like I would normally do. I like the aged look and I think I'm gonna keep this one.
