Second attempt at a bolt action. This time I cut the Indian Rosewood, drilled it, glued in the barrel and then used my new barrel trimmer. So.much easier.

Nicely :thumbs::thumbs: turned and finished.

I have found that the Gold plating wears very quickly with continued use compared to most of the other available platings.

Ever considered re-orientating the Bolt handle so the pens Bolt Action works like a real right handed bolt Action rifle?
Very easy to do.

I have thought about it. Even tried it before assembling the pen but thought this way was more comfortable. I maybe do it in future.

That's another lovely, well turned pen Daniel, well done. I'm not a lover of hands in photographs, but that's just me.
