Antler pens

[flyrod444]

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

Thanks Tony,
I always like to leave a little of the nature surface on my pens turned from antlers. It gives them a little more character.
Thanks again,
Jack

Good ones Jack. I also like to leave some the natural edge when I can.
What did you finish with? I've done best with ca.

I have always left some of the natural surface on my antler pens.



I use rattle-can lacquer for a finish.
