Gun Metal Bolt Action with Cones

[Buckeye]

This is a Gun Metal Bolt action with a home grown Pine Cone blank and a CA finish.

I like how the refill comes out further, much easier to write with, the blank is beautiful with lovely features that entirely complement the Gun Metal Kit.

I think the refill is too far out, I thought I had sanded the tubes too far, but measuring them they are the right size I may have to take them apart to take a bit off the mechanism.

An excellent pen which is only to be expected from you Peter !!!

Great looking barrel.
There is a batch of bolt action tubes that came out that are too long.

Thank you Terry, you flatterer. I made one of these for a friend who had had a rollerball with the same blank and he wanted a matching bolt action, the tube on that one was slightly longer and the refill doesn't stick out enough, it needs to be taken apart and the blank sanding down.

It was a slab cast.

That's a really good match of blank and kit peter, beautifully made too I also prefer the refill to protrude a little further.

Good to shape to it Peter, it suits this kit .. A quality blank and good finish to it making a very nice pen indeed ..

 

[Freck Fraser]

Nice match of kit to blank, doubly like the blank by the way

Lovely pen Peter

I have a massive stash of pinecones & other stuff, but I'm having trouble finding the time for casting

I like that Peter, blank looks spot on.

I know what you mean about the nib, Grandson has done one today and thought he had trimmed it a little too much but after measuring against a new tube it was spot on..

But as Les said maybe there is a batch with shorter tubes than should be. (BTW mine was a TB "Millylime" kit)
