Got a request from a customer a couple weeks back to make him a pen from a chrome plated steel golf club handle he had. Here is the result.
The club was tapered in "steps". The steps are more evident on the sections of club handle then they are on the pen. If you look closely you can see one under the clip and another just above the finger grip area.
I selected a section out of the middle of the club where the lower step just allowed the tube for the Executive to fit inside it. After trimming the section to length on my metal lathe I turned a thin bushing from a 30-06 cartridge section for the larger top step to fit between the tub and the top of the step. Then installed the tube/bushing inside the section and glued everything in place. It was actually easier to make then a typical wood blank pen.:wink:
This shows the club handle and the pen.
A little closer view.
The customer was extremely happy with it and indicated he might be ordering another or two.
C&C appreciated.
