These are his and two I made up with the spare wood so he got the best.
It started out as a single fountain pen for my son...

But to practice I did some slimlines, in varying timbers.

And when the wood failed on the lathe, I made this for me, which has turned out to be very popular as it feels nice to write with and is a talking point in the UK:

I like your assembly of the bullet(s) pen.
I would probably buff up the shells a bit but that's just me.
I like the turning of the wood on the wood pens. I also noticed on your wood pens that the wood is a bit proud of the hardware. An old timer gave me a tip for 'hiding' that. Take and round over those edges a bit with some abrasive and the transition will be less noticeable if any at all. It doesnt take a whole lot to make the corner disappear and in the end makes it look like is was made that way on purpose.
All in all they look good.
