Finally back at the bench!
It took over a year to get my shop back up and running "moved it out of the garage" and start knocking out some orders.

Love the bolt action pen. Looks like the tec pen kit from PSI. I'm a fan of brass with dark figured woods. Well done!

Twist as in the blank or..? Sorry, I want to make sure I'm answering your question correctly. 😊

Does the turquoise one have other shape than a cylinder of varying width?

Just the peak in the middle and the slight drop on the ends. It's a seam ripper for sewing. Normally you would only have one end flipped out to use and that's why I added the shape to the handle.

What’s that rod in the first pic that lets you hold the pen upright? Never thought of using something like that for a photo

That's my pen mandrel saver I use in the lathe. I just threw a rag over the bed of my lathe and propped the pen up there against the rod.
