Looks great Pitoon, you got a lot of nice "color" in it. Did you use BLO with the Ca or just CA?

Looks good. Is that Italian elk? I wonder if Italian antler would carry the same upscale perception as Italian resins?

Great Pen, Pitoon,
The Antler Blank is a great partner for the Artrax kit.
Terrififc Fit, Not sure what Finish you used.
Congratulations,
Brian.

No, it's not Italian antler. I bought these pieces from the US about 12 years ago. However i have heard that the German's have one breed of deer that is huge! I wouldn't mind trying to get a piece of German antler. Maybe on my next trip up to Germany?

thanks! only thing i don't like so much about turning antler is that the smell lingers on your clothes and fingers.

Elk Antlers laying on the ground
I often run across sheds of elk and mule deer when I'm out and about in the mountains. Last spring, I came across a huge elk that met his doom by getting his head stuck in the crotch of a large cottonwood tree. He was nothing but skeleton, but his head was still stuck in the tree along with the antlers, his front feet off the ground and his hind legs stuck in a barbwire fence. Must have been painful. Guess who has the antlers in his shop?:bananen_smilies051:

Nice pen. First and last photos look like a really cool Corian-like material with the mottled colors…nice effect.
