The perfect pen for an outdoor enthusiast, to use when writing their nature observations. This pen showcases the natural world with elements found in nature. It features tree silhouettes on the tip and the sun rising over mountains on the pen end. The phrase “Adventure Awaits” also appears on the pen top. The clip reminds you of an ancient giant tree representing the strength and wonder of the outdoors. The metal fittings are in a pewter finish to add to the rugged look. Hawthorn wood was used for the pen body. it seemed appropriate to use this wood as Hawthorne bushes and hedges are common when walking in the great outdoors. Hawthorn wood and Mountain Ash have a ver similar appearance with the creamy yellow sapwood contrasting with the dark golden brown heartwood

Cut from a single piece of wood has allowed the grain to follow through from top to tip. Having turned to body to the required dimensions it was sanded with several diminishing grade of abrasive paper. Next a coat of cellulose sander sealer was used to stabilise the surface before more sanding and then several coats of Melamine spray finish were applied.

It uses a smooth writing Parker style refill which can be changed by pulling the two halves of the pen apart. Next the twist mechanism is unscrewed (anticlockwise) to release the refill. Assembly is straight forward reversing the dismantling. However, it is suggested that the twist mechanism is set in the retracted position before the two halves are carefully pushed together ensuring the wood grain aligns.

This handmade bolt action bullet pen has a real bolt action which opens the ballpoint pen!
No twisting or clicking to do. Just grab the bolt action and slide it down, lock it in place and start writing.
Any shooter will appreciate how this pen works and it will be the talk of the town.

During a recent stay at Belle Tout Lighthouse the assistant manager showed an interest in my bolt-action pen designs and subsequently placed an order for one.

During that stay I spotted an interesting piece of wood in the log basket. I later discovered it to be Hawthorn. An unusual wood for turning, but such pretty colours with a contrasting creamy sap wood. I suggested using the Hawthorn for the commission to make it even more personal!

What a perfect gift idea!

The replica .30 calibre bullet cartridge and the chrome bullet tip both add authenticity to the look of this pen.

The pen has been made by hand turning a piece of Hawthorn branch to shape and size before being sanded six times with progressively finer grit abrasive to create a very smooth surface.
It is then polished to a mirror like shine using 12 polishing steps to create a showroom quality finish.

All external components are glossy gold plated to provide durable and dependable service.
The pen is very stylish and shows well in all lighting conditions and will make a memorable gift for any occasion, such as a Birthday, Father’s Day, Christmas, or Graduation Day.

The pen is supplied with a black Parker type refill, available at most stationers

A Certificate of Authenticity is supplied detailing serial number, materials used, and day of creation.

Point of Interest: The driftwood in the photograph was collected from Birling Gap close to the lighthouse.
