This is a pen I made just for fun. The cap and barrel made from Indian water buffalo horn, the section ebonite with urushi lacquer. Horn is very difficult to work and the chance it cracks is high

Have a great weekend,

Martin

Thank you very much.
Indeed Buffalo Horn always has some streaks, the material is not homogeneous.
The gold rings on the caps' end is made on measure after the pen is lacquered

Cheers,

Martin
