got a call from one of the salesmen from where i used to work asking, you still make pens ? i said sure what do you need. he wanted a couple rifle pens done with deer antler !!! i hate working with it due to the smell and it's just hard to drill the hole for the tubes because the antler is never straight but i said, yeah no problem. came out great. unless you know hunters and can get some for free it can be very expensive. lucky i had a bunch left from some antler my uncle had. no finish just sanded then wet sanded to 12000 with micro mesh. this is PSI kit PKCP80XX. but i buy my pen kits from Wood Turningz. he's always a buck or two per kit cheaper, plus i like helping out the small guy. im charging him 30 bucks each plus he's taking me to lunch so not bad.

Nice! I wondered about the material. Antler? Never, especially since I donated all my pen making kits and parts to Arlin Eastman. He works with disabled vets making pens and pencils.

Nice pens, Pottz.  That's something I've not tried yet.  Someday.
$30.00 EA. plus lunch!, wow  -  not bad Pottz. The pens look pretty good too.
If these antlers smell that bad, why would anyone want to carry it around?, or does the odor dissipate over time?
