Apparently I Can Only Sell Antler

[Wheaties]

It's my second order... my first was also Whitetail Deer Antler so that seems to be the trend. This is a Pen and Pencil set, 2 Tone Chrome. The antler is finished with CA and lots of BLO so it dulls and also feels like antler after about a day. I took the pics right after so the are still shiny (or semi-shiny) in the pics.

Comments and critiques welcome!

That's a nice set, unassuming,, but really nice.

They look really good, nice job.
I have not made this kit before, they appear to be different, are the pen and pencil different diameters?

They look very good,well done.

Very nice!

Very nice and very interesting.
I'm not familiar with that kit, which is it?
As for the feel with uneven wearing of the CA and antler. Some folks like it, some don't. The customer must be told up front what to expect.

yes there looking good. Seeing as the Deer hunt is just around the corner I have the word out there to everyone I know that hunts to get me their antler and I will make them pens.

Thanks everyone!

The diameters are the same on both the pen and pencil (both Sierra size). The pencil is just much shorter, as you can see.

The kits are Two-Tone Chrome Sierra Clicks from Ernie at BearToothWoods.

Beautiful set. I'll bet you had a time filing in those loose areas in the center. Turned out real nice.

inquiring minds need to know

What is BLO ?

What is BLO ?

Boiled Linseed Oil

Check out William's method of using it:

Alot of people have had success with it. The only difference I did was add more BLO to soften my finish.

Excellent Pens, Great Job.

Zach they look lovely, the next time just use an ordinary Sierra `twist` tube for the Click Pen and that will bring the size down to similar to the pencil, does away with the little chrome extension piece that fits into the ink top too!

Thanks for the tip! I will do that next time!
