Had to try the Statesman. This one is stabilized water buffalo horn. Big white line down back, but front is pretty decent.
Here little buffalo... the other success

Outstanding pen. Just received a request for 4 w/ option for 2 more. Looking forward to trying these. Are they as hard to turn as deer antler?

Pen looks great. I love the look of the bufflo horn. Question: what is the ripple at the base?

Beautiful pen Ed, the "ripple" colouration adds character.[

Fleabit-the "ripple" is a white spot-has been present in all 3 I have turned. WARNING: I turned one that was not stabilized, the crack that developed was huge. The one other stabilized that I have made has survived 2 months or so, so I am hoping that was the answer. CSUSA provided my stabilized blanks and they seem to be good.
Pastorbill-I refuse to turn deer antler because of the smell. Buffalo horn is hard to drill-heats up rapidly so I choose to do it in numerous sessions (about a half inch at a time.)
Turns easily, polishes with plastic polish. I don't wax because there is a faint texture that I like to leave intact. This is not the bible according to st. ed, I have only done a few and the results are very good, not spectacular! There may be a better way.

Very nice Ed.
Sweet Ed.. very Sweet... Horn can be a real PIA... I did a couple of cow horns and I kept them from cracking by using BLO on them.. soaked the living hell out of them... was taught that trick by a guy that used to do powder horns...
