Really? Not a peep?

I actually like this - might make it my pocket pen for a while just to see if it holds up. I'm not worried about scratching it because, hey, it's leather!

How about Interesting? It is different, if it finds a market good for you. If not, good for you to try it.

OK, Rowdy.
You have to market it with a string tie and spurs.

I wasn't sure what to think about this at first, but the more i thought about it the more i liked the idea... enough to find the post after it left the front page... i think it would make a neat workshop pencil! After 5 or 6 months of shop use the patina the leather would get would look great. i like the look of that worn patina leather gets. well, thats my 2c worth...

I just saw it Steve, and I believe it will sell. Now for the dumb question time. Did you turn the leather or punch it out and glue it to the tube? Are the individual pieces glued together or just to the tube?
However you did it, that is one cool idea. The market will be different than most but I do think you have a sellable idea here.

Looks like it is wrapped to me, am I right?

Rusty,
Looks that way to me also. Similar to the way old leather golfclub grips were wrapped.

I'd like to know how you did it. Someone mentioned to me that they like leather but how do you deal with the seam where the end join together?
