these were from a request from one of our salesman at work. he bought two from me at our xmas party and said he'd like a couple more. i had three kits so i just made em all and he can choose. made from deer antler. top is chrome, middle gold and bottom gun metal, my fav ! being in construction these pens are a favorite seller ! no finish just sanded and buffed. i gotta say antler is not my fav material to turn, if ya know what i mean !
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Love those! I know the smell can be something awful, kinda like someone tossed some antlers into the camp fire.
Being such a small diameter, it is probably impossible to fine any horn that can maintain the ridges. Could hire Elmer to bag you a few Jackalopes for the next batch 🤠
thanks guys. jim yes penn state. splint ya the antler i had was fairly large so dont get the nice live edge, or bark if you wanna call it. and it can be a challenge to drill since most has a curve. the one at the top has just a tiny amount of the outer edge left.
