Antler Cigar

[Stevej72]

I made this pen as part of an order of 14 pens for a wholesale customer. It has some unusual red coloring to it so I posted a question under Penturning. After reading the responses I decided to either keep it for myself of sell it at a higher price to a retail customer

It is deer antler with black titanium.

Very cool pen. I would of never thought of putting antler on a cigar.

Great work on the pen, I like that red that is in your pen!

Very nice I was unaware of all those colours in the antler

A very unique Cigar. If you decide to sell, finding a buyer should be very easy.

I think it looks really cool with that naturally occurring red in there. Are you sure you weren’t drinking a little wine when you where turning this one?[:0]

The color in the antler certainly make it unique. Definatly worth upping the price.

Steve, I was working on an antler top for a cartridge pen last night and as I turned in there was alot of red, this antler was over a year old off of an early season kill, Probably in full rut, I think that has something to do with the blood flow getting in to the antler, Sheds happen when the blood flow ceases to go to the base of the antler and I don't see much color in them. any way, I read on Yahoo about bleaching antler with house hold variety Hydrogen Peroxide, I tried it because the piece had way too much red showing,I soaked it over night and all the red is gone, and it almost looks like Ivory,
By the way Nice pen, [^]

Thanks for all the nice comments. After reading these it definately won't go to my wholesale customer.

Tim, it is indeed an honor to be your 1000th post! Thank you very much.
