Here is a couple of shell casing and antler pens made from slimline kits.

Nice job Tom! It's amazing how these shell pens are taking off in design and popularity.

Well-- Tom looks like you are becoming the expert bullet pen maker.
They sure are looking real good.

i like the reversed casing for the clip section. Well done. I'm not too sure I like the corian sections though. I like the top pen much more.

Thats not corian, its deer antler. It does sorta look like corian though.

Two great looking pens!
I have some that were among the first i did and something you might want to do in the future if you haven't done it already.
I have noticed some "leeching" of oxidation in the area where the antler comes in contact with the brass,Green is bleeding into hte"endgrain" of the antler.
I normally seal the antler with thin CA.
I may have missed a spot.
Those were proto types but I am sealing them better now.

Thanks guys for the comments.As many of you know these things can be fun or a pain in the ^&%. My big problem is holding them and drilling them.How do you hold and drill them without scratching them?
