    Antler pens

    Here are a few more pens I made for a good friend. I started out making 4 pens for her, but the first one went over so well that she wanted 5 more so I went a head and made one extra just to make sure. The slim lines are titanium and the to high end gets are Rhodium. Thanks, Jack Mincey

    Antler Turning?

    Our good friend Phillip (ptt49er) hooked me up with this piece of antler found on his property (I think that's what he told me). I've been wanting to turn antler ... but where to start? I hear it turns well. Do I just turn it between centers, wobbly and all? I assume it's safe to cut with...

    Antler finish???

    I am attempting a cartridge/antler pen for a friend. I wonder what finish to use on the antler. Anyone know what will or won't work best. I've never used CA and don't have enough antler to experiment and still have enough to make a pen for myself.

    Antler Pen Opinions - Critique

    I have been holding on to this piece of antler for almost a year and I finally got around to turning it. I held onto it because it seemed to have potential to make for a unique pen. I am happy that I was able to keep this small 'antler' on the pen, but I'm not sure what to think. Sometimes...

    Antler pen blanks????

    I was given this rack and several others by a friend. I would like to try some antler pens but have no clue as to how cut it up for blanks. Does it have "pith" that has to be avoided? Should I utilize the thickest sections, or something that is closer to the finished pen size? Is the material...

    Antler Pens

    I have seen pictures of antler pen turnings and was never really excited about them. I also heard the process was a little objectionable to the olfactory :lol: so I didn't have a lot of interest. With Christmas coming up, however, I thought I would try to make my bil a pen. He is a big...

    Turning antler

    Folks, I need some advice here. I have read of antler being turned as pen stock. Have any of you done it, and what advice can you offer? I've been given several pieces of deer antler and have been thinking about trying this. Any advice is welcome. Jim
