Hello all,
Had an order for 20 bullet pens at work. Below is what I have so far. It's still a work in progress as I'm still waiting for kits and clips to arrive.

Nigerian Ebony, Canary wood , Rapala Lacewood, Bloodwood, An Oak I think, Blue dyed Big Leaf Maple, Olivewood, Wine dyed Big Leaf Maple, American Flag Laminate, Tulipwood, African Blackwood , Burmese Rosewood

Bill, congratulations on the order! I have never done a cartridge pen with the Euro kit and have to say it looks sharp.

On the second photo, is it just the angle on the right side pen, or is the clip actually standing away from the wood?

The clips come from woodpenpro.com
The FMF clip on the right is a little out of whack will adjust it back before I finish the pen. Will be adding SEABEE, Chief/Senior/Master Chief Petty Officer anchors as well and a couple USMC. The euro's were way more popular then slimlines especially with the bullet nibs I showed. They have already mentioned increasing the order from 20 to 50 after these sell. SO we'll see :)

Thanks for the comments :)

They are fun to do and not too much work since you only have to turn and finish the upper barrel. Since I'm actually getting paid for them it wasn't too hard to convince my wife I needed to spend the day in the shop :p

When I get the kits in and finish them I'll post a pic before I deliver them.
