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..

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

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.

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.
