    Rifle cartridge desk pens

    I made these last weekend with wood scraps. The wood on the pens are cutoffs from Sierras and the bases are made from the black walnut I bought at the very first black walnut group buy last year in Raleigh. The first one is cocobolo and the second is maple burl. Thanks for looking, Rick
