The "Casing" Pen Contest allowed up to three entries this time, so I decided to toss in a few of the ideas I've been experimenting with.
Rifled Cartridge Pen - A Bullet Pen with a Twist
This pen features a hexagonal spiral cut into the brass shellcase and echoed in the cocobolo upper barrel. It's meant to portray the rifling of a gun barrel.
Gunpowder Pen
Don't try to take this pen through airport security :biggrin:. It's made with real gunpowder.
30-30-30-30-30 Pen
I've been wanting to make a shellcase fountain pen for a long time, and this is my first try. It's constructed from cases in 5 different calibers, all of which take a 30-cal bullet. It's relatively thin for a kitless pen, so I tied embellishments on instead of turning them.
These were all learning experiences, which is the true prize for entering the contest. I enjoyed making them. I hope you enjoyed viewing.
Regards,
Eric
