We use "MAG" flashlights in our maintenance department here. Can't say I've ever seen them sold in "kit" form, but those sure look nice.

Without a clear frame of reference, I think these are mini flashlights. Maybe 3 or 4 inches, sometimes they come with a key ring. My guess they have been taken apart and remade with the wood sleeves.

Not sure if this is the guy who made them, but you can see some wooden mags in the last photo.

I just saw an ad for those and now I can not remember where. I will have to check woodcraft because I just placed an order with them.

Just about the time I think it's safe to say "I've seen everything now", up pops something to prove me wrong! :biggrin:
I can't believe it, a site dedicated to people who collect flashlights! Looks like the one member had a very nice display case for his collection.

I just saw the 2nd page of that link and he's modded a few other flashlights also.

So you think they are turned wood, or are they covered in veneer?
They look awesome either way....something Bond would pull out and zap somebody with....LOL.....

They sure are pretty, but will they stand the abuse like the aluminum ones will?? That's been Mags strong point.

Stand up? I don't think so.

I am thinking those are "faux finishes" more like you get on some laminate flooring. Some people are very very good at painting wood grain on metal.

If you read the link to the forum, you can see that someone retrofitted the flashlights to have a wood barrel, probably milled on a lathe. On page 2 you can see one made with leopardwood that show the rays on one side so I don't think it is painted on.

This link explains how he does it.

THANKS everyone.:biggrin: From reading the flashlight forum I realize these aren't kits so I guess that only means one thing.......a trip to Lowes to buy one and see what I can do with it. If it turns out OK I'll post some pics. (don't hold your breath):wink:

I agree with George, I have seen everything now. What a great idea, they really show off the beauty of the wood. Listen Rick if you wait long enough PSI will have some kits whipped up in no time, but I like the Lowe's trip better. At least you know what you are buying.
