I'm really interested in seeing this pen. The photo is not really clear. If you can, it would be nice to get a little closer. Thanks[8D]

ditto on wanting a bigger pic to see the detail.
i have been kicking around this same idea using leather rings.
i got the idea from a hunting knife handle. it is made up of leather rings.
let us see a bigger pic and how you did it please?

Pretty cool pen, does it still smell of leather? For a close up check out his photo album.

Please do tell how you made this- did you just build up layer after layer of CA?

Interesting. The ends look different, are they cut differently or are they of other materials?

Reed, what kind of glue did you use to glue the leather rings together?

OOPPPSSSSS
forgot the most important thing to post.
YES THE PEN LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!
just wish that i had got off of my lazy a@##@ and made one sooner.
I have lots of scrap leather from my leather making projects. so i cant use "dont have any leather" as a excuse.
if anyone wants some scrap leather to try this send me a email.

Very nice idea and well executed. I've thought about a leather pen, but this is different than I was thinking, hadn't thought about the leather handle on a knife.

What did you use to turn it or were the rings already cut to the final size?

Reed43,
Nice pen and good job with it. I've made a few leather pens and they are fun and easy. I don't want to hijack Reed43's post, but one of my leather pens can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/jshww It is made much the same way Reed43's was except I cut the leather disks with a leather disk stamping tool and glued the disks together with epoxy instead of CA. Finish was CA/BLO instead of lacquer.Sharp tools are a must as Reed mentioned. I found that the scraper and skew did the best cutting. The colored leather I used was from a bag of scraps from Hobby Lobby. Thanks Reed43 for posting your leather pen...once again...nice pen and I hope adding to your post is not considered to be bad manners. I hope your post has inspired others to try somethinhg different.
Do a good turn daily!

Skye,
Oorah! Cool idea for the pen. I am always trying to think of something different to use. I just haven't come up with anything. Someone did a pine cone pen on another forum last year that was really amazing. My pen in a hat was made from greasewood, which has little knot-like spots where it had thorns. It was really different and I loved it. I think I'll post a pic of it.
