Handmade Bolt Action Ballpoint Pens
These gun-themed pens have a bolt-action lever that extends and retracts to secure the pen tip for writing. The metal is plated in black nickel, except the tip and finial which are rose-gold plated in the likeness of a bullet. There is even a rifle on the pen clip. A perfect handmade pen for any gun enthusiast!
INK REFILL: This pen takes a ‘Parker’ style refill. Schmidt EasyFLOW 9000 recommended.
(A) BIMBLE BOX BURL
Unique Item No. 0359 (OUT OF STOCK)
The body of this pen was made using Bimblebox Burl imported from Australia. The wood is in the eucalyptus family of trees, and burl refers to a circular grain growth around an injury to the tree. In this example the burl ‘eyes’ have voids giving the wood a distressed look. I applied my best and most durable finish of polished cyanoacrylate to the wood.
(B) RED BOX BURL
Unique Item No. 0360
The wood used to create this pen is Red Box Burl imported from Australia. The wood is in the eucalyptus family of trees, and burl refers to a circular grain growth around an injury to the tree. I applied my best and most durable finish of polished cyanoacrylate to the wood.
(C) GRAY CAMOFLAUGE
Unique Item No. 0361
The body of the pen was hand turned from gray camouflage acrylic material. It contains swirls of white, light gray, dark gray and black. After turning, the acrylic was wet-sanded to 12000 grit and then polished on a buffing wheel to remove even the tiniest of scratches.
(D) BOCOTE
Unique Item No. 0362 (OUT OF STOCK)
The pen was made using a figured block of Bocote hardwood from South America. Bocote has a wavy grain pattern with yellow-orange wood interrupted by stripes of near black. I applied my best and most durable finish of polished cyanoacrylate to the wood.

Unique Item No. 0363 (OUT OF STOCK)

(G) CURLY KOA
Unique Item No. 0365
The body of the pen was made using curly Koa wood from Hawaii. The wood is a rich brown color with a horizontal wavy grain pattern.
