Rifle Casing Pens
 

Well I bought a nice lathe a month or so back and am getting my stuff together to make pens again...heres a couple I made a few days ago out of 308 brass and walnut. The lighter colored one is cedar. I'll start selling them if there's a demand for them..

Pretty neat!

Nice Bubba; I've always been a pen freak.

I just want to know how many grains of powder are in those shells and what primers you used.

I'd like a pen that can write around 2800 fps.

Price out some of them; I bet some of US will buy them. I sell 95 % off all my knives on Texas Hunting forums, and most sell within a hour.

lol...only thing these pens do now is write and look nice...

I was thinking $20 for them does that sound like a fair price? I traded the ones in the pic for similar valued item. I plan on making some antler ones as well.

I don't know what kind of time you spend on the but I know that the refils has to do a lot with the value. I don't know what you use but to me Schneider refills are hard to beat. I have a $500.00 Mont Blanc and don't like the refill at all. I like that pump action you get from the Schneider.

Even though I've left the corporate world where I normally had a pen in my hand for hours, I still have week spot for wood pens.

These aren't that high end :) it has a cross refill seems to write decent. takes me a little over an hour to complete one start to finish. That's including polishing...

This is the first Hybrid metal/wood pen Ive made. I like the Majestic series pens they are bigger but feel better.

They do look really nice. I'm interested in them.

I sent you a PM...

They really are pretty.... But, I'd leave it laying on a counter somewhere by the end of the first week. Give me that 5 for a buck 2 eighty BICK PACK.

lol need to put a chain on it ;)

Here's a redwood pen. Sorry for the bad pics its a cheap phone...

This is a better pic...pens/pencils I make.

Pm if you want to sell one..my son bought me one a few years ago made from an antller..very nice

These are examples of what I make/sell currently. depends what you are looking for. I don't have antler yet.

I cant send you PM's it says you dont accept them or something :)I can make any of these for you prices vary depending on what type of wood you want. The highest priced wood combo is the leopard wood/ cocobolo rosewood at $40 for the pencil and $35 for the pen. The shell casings are .270, 308, 30/30 30-06 blanks from Memorial day formation in my home town.

I don't have antler yet...takes about 3 days to ship from here.

I don't know about the PMs..I just sent a few out last week and I received replies ...

I'm interested in a 270 pen..What about refills..? when it runs out of ink,,Will that be availalble..and if so how much? Do I send the money first? or after I get the pen? I'd like a dark colored wood with the 270..it does not matter what kind of wood for me.

Thanks,
Chuck7

PS I'll shoot you a PM.

Its a Cross refill. They are available almost anywhere...the pen pulls apart and you unscrew the refill and put the new one in.

Which wood color do you like? That will change the price slightly...

I will need your email address and street address where you want your pen delivered, then I can send you an invoice and you can either send the payment by money order or Paypal. Once I receive payment I try to send the pen out the same day unless its a weekend and the Post office is closed. Typically takes 3 business days for delivery. If you want it next day the shipping is extra.

I will say they are very nice. I've bought a few so far.

I"ll get the PM fixed and my address will be on it..No sweat here..i've dealt with a few of these guys..i pay fast...I just purchased a bunch of stuff off of ebay..Science videos for my classroom..being a teacher..i use pens alot ....is the ink black?

My first wood choice is olive wood

2nd choice is rosewood

3rd is cherry

4th is walnut

5th red oak

Diffently on a 270 casing.
Thanks,
Chuck Borden

I WANT ONE....for sure

I sent my address to your pm

PM me your email address...your settings don't allow me to PM you.

I did earlier..i'll try again..
Sorry for the confusion.

Ok..i think it works now lol

computers lol The pen comes with a black refill they are cross type refills available most places. They do make them in blue I think.

I ordered some olive wood it wont be in for a couple weeks though.

Will the price be the same in olive wood?

i will wait on the olive wood..

Thanks ,

Hi there i am a newbie out here and just registered on this forum..so first wanted to let you know of it before getting on with proceedings out here,..nice to meet you all.

Hey Guys,
Here's a pen my son bought me a few years ago..I used to use the 30-30 Marlin a lot..note the top of the pen is like a 30-30 round. The body of the penis an antler.

Antler pen looks nice, I want to try turning antler but I read you have to get a breathing mask because the antler dust is abrasive and not good for your lungs.

I found a olivewood blank I bought a couple weeks ago...I just completed this an hour ago.

Well I sent a pic to a buddy and he wanted it so this pen is sold. But there will be more!:D

I"ll take that pen..did the wood come from Israel?


Will have chevk in the mail ASAP ..

Chuck

Or would you prefer paypal...if you want paypal PM the email address it's to go to...

The one in the pic is sold...but let me turn the other one later today and see how it turns out. I don't know where this olive wood comes from. it was just marked olivewood at the place I bought it...The stuff I have on order IS the Bethlehem olive wood. It will be later tonight as I have errands to run today:mad1:

Here is the 2nd pen. If you want it let me know. Sorry for the bad cell phone pic.

OK so I finally got a couple good pics the first one is sold the second is on hold for now

made a couple more today..these are taken:)

I received my Bethlehem olivewood, I haven't had time to make a pen yet more to come. I am ordering a stylus points to add on to the pens for iPhone™, iPad™, iPod Touch™ and similar touch screen devises.

Chuck7 were you interested in the second one?

This pen is available for sale. PM me if interested thanks!

They look great. I would love to have one in 7mm mag or 308.
