Here is one of my favorite pens i have turned. Wrapped in old 3 cent stamps around the barrel with a CA finish.

Nick,

I am usually not a fan of copper plated kits, but the copper kit is complemented nicely by the stamps you selected. Nice job.

thanks, this was my first attempt at encasing the barrel with stamps. Next time I will try casting the barrel instead of using multiple CA layers.

Terrific looking pen. That must have taken a lot of CA to build it up to bushing height. This is certainly one pen I would love to have in my collection.

I love that pen, nice job. Curious....how did you know how far below the bushings to turn the blank to account for the thickness of the stamps and the CA. Also, what type of blank did you use? Thanks for sharing.

Ever try to mail this one? Bet it wouldn't get to the destination!
Very nice pen!
Did you make this "blank" up and is it just stamps around the tube??
