I received a last minute request for a Desk Pen and Stand for a Xmas present. With no pen funnels on hand, here is what I came up with. Hope they like it because time has run out.

Nice work, very attractive. The base doesn't look big enough to stand up the pen, but it seems to work.

That looks very nice. Is the funnel a shell casing with wood insert?

It's a 308 cartridge with a Purpleheart sleeve inserted and matches the centerband on the pen. It's suprisingly stable.

Beautiful. How did you attach the cartridge to the swivel and mount it to the oiece of horn? Keep up the good work.

Angela,
The base is the part of the antler where it joins the skull.
Beautiful work, very inventive!

What kit did you use or is it a SL with a closed end chuck used?
Very nice!

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Yes, the stand is antler also. I believe there is a name for that part, "rosette" or some such.
It's a slimline kit turned with a pin chuck.
It doesn't swivel it is fixed in that position. I used a brass cup hook and trimmed some of the hook off and inserted it through the primer hole and filled the primer cavity with epoxy. When that was dry I poured a small amount of epoxy into the cartridge itself to epoxy the tiny nub that I left inside. So it's glued in from two sides. Hope it's strong enough. The screw end is screwed into a drilled hole in the stand. I added epoxy to the threads of the screw as well.

You are very brave to do a closed end antler. Nice job.

That is one of the better applications of antler that I have seen!

You know, I think that looks better than the ones you can buy as far as a pen stand goes. Looks very good and unique. As said before, if the person you made it for doesn't like it, let me know and I'll take it off your hands. []

I have also seen them called "crowns"
