I had a request for a pen with these requirements: ballpoint; large pen; twist, not click; rifle bullet and shell case section on the end; antler lower barrel; copperhead skin upper barrel; gold plating. Here is what I came up with. Not sure I really like it but the customer does and he was in on the details from the start. He is pleased and the pen goes out tomorrow.
Thanks Seamus! I had no copperhead skin but i knew Seamus did and he graciously made me the blank for the upper barrel. He also powdercoated the bullet/shell case section while he was doing some for himself ( and had my powdercoater borrowed:biggrin Thanks again.
I know the antler is larger than the shell case where they meet but we needed to keep the pen as large as we could and decided to stop there and round over the sharp corner down to the shell case.
Comments welcome: good, bad, or indifferent.
Do a good turn daily!
