This pen that took me two days to create!
The main section of the barrel is Buffalo horn, the bottom section of the barrel is Deer antler and the top section of the barrel is Mammoth ivory! This pen was a nightmare to make and to get clean contact between the materials. Then it seems the antler shrunk slightly and I had to rebuild the Mammoth ivory several times on the lathe with ivory dust and glue. Overall, I'm very pleased with it. The smell of burning Mammoth ivory will stay with me for a long time. The mechanism is a magnum bolt action rifle pen. I love it, it's cool and crazy and I'll never make another.
