Rhinehart in redwood burl

[Penultimate]

Greetings
Here is a Woodcraft Rhinehart in redwood burl. I had to do some infilling with Tru-Stone. It worked well. I think I will do some more infill in the future. The finish is CA I think about 349 coats, at least it feels like it.

The pen feels bulky and a little top heavy.

Thanks for looking.
Comments welcome.

If you think that's too top heavy, try the Atrax ballpoint. I like these and the screw cap version prob a little better. You did a nice job.

Very nice! The heaviest pen I have done is the Oriental Dragon FP, but it is really something.

Great job on the in-fills - is a nice element.

Very nice. I like the design of the Rinehart pens.

Hi
Thanks for all the nice comments it gives me encouragement to keep making pens.

Nice job. Love using a little inlay to overcome the "flaws" in the wood. My only comment is that it looks like you are using the clip to try to "hide" the inlay. I'd be putting that little detail out where it can be seen and enjoyed!

Nice work...what bushings did you use? I can't seem to find bushings for the Reinhart pen kit.

HI Lou
I turn between centers. I haven't used bushings in a long time. I have a metal lathe so I chuck up a piece of aluminum and turn a center point and go to it.

I believe that the Rinehart takes the same bushings as the Baron ... Berea 19A ... also same as Navigator and Sedona.

Woodcraft also sells them but they charge more for them:
