Youngest old man on TGT.
I've been playing around in my shop for the last few days, and made a few pens. I used a 30-06 casing for the body, and a 150gr FMJ bullet for the tip (after I removed the lead of course). I coated them in a special brass lacquer, so they shouldn't tarnish much if at all. The mechanism I used calls for a Cross style refill, which writes wonderfully. The clip and cap pieces are plated in 24K gold.
I think I have the process for making these things figured out. It took a few tries to get it right, and these 4 pens are the result.
These two are topped with deer antler

This one is topped with Logwood eye burl. It's hard to see, but it's got a lot of beautiful figure to it. The camera didn't catch much of it.
Sold
And I cannot remember what this one is. I'm about 90% sure it's some kind of Asian wood. I think it was curly red... something. I bought it off fleabay about 4-5 years ago, and made a pen out of it (that half had the name written on it). This was the cutoff piece. I wish I could find out what it was. I love how it looks, especially where the two colors meet.
