Supposed to have been away this weekend but my wife wasn’t t very well so a good excuse for some much needed shed time with my boy. The first pen is his a bolt action dressed with a resin blank - all I did was a bit of final shaping to get it dead straight he did the rest - he’s well pleased. I couldn’t let him have all the fun so I fessed an Athena with some apple wood from a tree I took down a few years ago. It’s great to be back turning pens I may have caught the bug again[emoji16][emoji16]

Two little crackers their, the apple looks very clean and simple lines....very nice. The bolt always looks good in dark colours and that's no exception he should be well pleased:thumbs::thumbs:

Nicely :thumbs::thumbs: done.

Ever considered re-orientating the bolt handle to get the pens bolt action
to work like a real right handed bolt action rifle?

A good idea Les - not sure it was possible with this kit though. If we do this again I might have a bit of a play and see [emoji1303]
