There you go not much different but its how I wanted to do it the wood is Sabah Ebony I made a small recess for the clip in the top part of the shell case and a boxwood plug to a very tight fit in the top of the case and through the clip and into the 7mm tube and pressed it in

That's nice dad and probably a better looking pen for it.
A rifle clip might look better still init?

Neil all I used on the case was autosol it can always be re-polished if and when needed
Brian I would have put a rifle clip on but I didnt have any left I used them all up for H 4 H just before Christmas I had no intention of making this one till I got out in my workshop you know what I'm like

Woody, that is then next step, the one that I've wanted but didn't know until now. Thank you, that's superb and a fantastic looking pen.

That is a fabulous looker there without a doubt. The joint (or lack of) between wood and case is excellent.

I can see why some might appreciate a rifle clip but I like the one it has now, seems to complement the wood judging by the photo.

Very nicely done Sir !

That's a really good looking pen woody, I like the clip you have put on it don't think a rifle clip would would make it any better looking than it is now.

Not sure mate I did take the first photos outside in the sun the other photos were taken indoors so maybe that made a difference

Sun? what sun?

Alex,

I thought that it was silver, that is why I asked Woody what he had coated it in. He said that he had polished it with his Anusol? Dont know what colour that is though.

Agree with Neil a rifle clip would indeed make it look tacky....It looks right just as it is.
