►Handcrafted by a Retired Veteran◄

This unique 50 caliber pen not only adorns your desktop with an authentic once fired 50 caliber bullet, but flip the inside pen out for a unique and convenient writing instrument. An actual 50 caliber shell acts as a holder, sleeve, and stand for the easily removable pen inside. The pen features a solid copper bullet tip.

Tiger oak is oak that is milled into quarters at an angle to the growth rings of the tree. This method produces boards with heavy stippling visible in the grain. Tiger oak, also called quarter sawn oak, is used for cabinets, furniture and projects for which the flecked pattern of the boards is desired. Many historic homes in the United States have tiger oak wood floors. Spalting (caused by microorganisms in the wood) and other discolorations are often found in soft woods. Since the spalting weakens the integrity of the wood for small projects, stabilization is often applied via a soaking method utilizing lacquer, sap, or acrylic.

Unlike commercially produced wooden and acrylic pens, I hand-turned this one on a lathe then shaped, sanded, polished, finished and waxed it. The pen is equipped with extremely durable and long-lasting components. Refills can easily be found at any office supply under a variety of brand names.

Wood Turner pens and pencils are an excellent and unique gift for your friends and family that are “hard-to-buy-for”.

If you like this style of pen but would prefer a different type of wood or acrylic, I would be happy to make one just for you. I have a large quantity of rare domestic and tropical hardwoods in stock and access to almost anything you would like. Please note however, that the price may vary slightly contingent on the price of the resin or wood and I will require additional time if I need to order something in your behalf.
