You are bidding on a really
well-designed key ring that has the genuine look and feel of a .300 WIN MAG bullet
cartridge. This key chain also has a “Secret Compartment” with a removable cap
that exposes a handy hidden compartment. This particular item
was made from a beautiful piece of STABILIZED RED MALLEE BURL. A "burl" is an abnormal growth
that typically grows on the outside of the tree and usually near the tree
trunk. Since each "eye" of the burl could have grown into a tree
branch, this causes the grain to grow in every direction at the same time. A
burl typically also has bark inclusions, voids, as well as other things making
it difficult to turn. A "stabilized" pen blank is injected with acrylic at
high pressure which dramatically helps both the color and figure of the wood to
POP! I am now using the Super Glue
(CA Glue) finish for all of my Key Chains. This type of finish is extremely
durable and will help keep your key chain safe from water, oil and the rigors
of daily use. It takes a little longer to use this finishing method and costs a
little more as well. However, the finish you have on the item when completed
is very similar to acrylic and will last the life of the item with no problems.
This is a versatile container that could hold
emergency money (not included), toothpicks, medication, matches, or reminder
notes. The interior has a food-safe finish; exterior has a Gold and Copper
plated finish, providing a long wearing key chain that stands up to everyday
wear and tear. Key Chain has an overall length that measures 3 ¾”
long not including the ring, and the base portion has a rough diameter of ⅝”
wide.
I have been a woodworker for over 20 years, making everything from
complete custom cabinetry, to bowls, boxes, and pens on the
lathe. However, due to health issues, I now only turn projects on
the lathe to give myself something to do for the few hours a day I can stand.
When you see pens which have the same name, or look the exact same, the chances
are that they obtain their kits from the same sources that I use. Since I do
not need to "make a living" at this, I can offer the same product,
made with great precision, and generally offer it to you for a much lower
price.
