Hello! Here is another 30 caliber bullet pen this time made with bubingo wood. You will notice that the clip is in the form of a rifle with a scope, and the copper tipped bullet a look a like bullet. An ideal gift for a hunter.
I retired several years ago as a field service manager for a Caterpillar dealer for many years. I always liked working with my hands specializing in anything made of wood. I like wood with veriable grain in it,which make a very beautitful piece of work as you apply the finish. I took a course on pen making at Lee Valley Tolls,and I take a great deal of pride in this as my hobby.
