Rifle Cartridge Bullet Pen order.

Customer wanted 20 each of Brass Winchester 25-06, 30-06, .270, .280,
10 -.303 British and 10 - 7mm Remington Magnum's.
I used Deer, Elk, Moose and Acrylic Forest and Bush Camo for the caps with
variety of RT and FT Rifle and Deer Head Clips.

Brass Casings and Copper Bullets are polished and coated with 4 coats of Lacquer using the Dipping Method.
Antler and Acrylic is sanded to 400x, buffed with super fine steel wool and polished with Hut Ultra Gloss.

After turning and finishing all the antler I had on hand I ended up with 48 extra caps.

Les, those are very cool. Another hobby of mine is target shooting. I like the way you did these. How long did it take to do all those pens?

Thanks Eugene.

Once I got set up and going at a steady pace it took me around 50 hours.
