This is a LeRoi Long Body V2 pen in gold and gunmetal. The blank is a SpectraPly called Bumble Bee, from Woodcraft. I love the grain patterns in Spectraply blanks. The finish is Pens Plus.

In the description, it says it's a 3/8" tube. It's not. I tried chasing it with a different 3/8" bit, but that didn't work. So I redrilled it with a letter V and finally a letter W. I didn't notice until later that it also says below the description that it takes a 25/64" bit. Confusing, but at least it didn't say it takes a bigger than needed bit.

I have problems with the Bumble Bee blanks. The yellow picks up sanding dust from the gray. I blew it off with compressed air, but that didn't help much. Still, it doesn't look too bad, and I've found that people don't notice it.

Your rifle stock is gorgeous! What kind of rifle is that?
That is just a simple Ruger 10-22, that I highly modified. That is a Boyd gunstock that they manufacture from spectaply. They make stocks for virtually every gun you can think of. After seeing your beauty of a pen, I had to show you this.
