ONE UGLY PEN

[jcm71]

I didn't know whether I could make a pen out of this blank or not, but boy is it ugly. So ugly I kind of like it. Yes, I did have a chip out on the upper blank, so I just shortened it on the disc sander.

The pen blank is organic, but after harvesting it has to be "processed" to be usable. Any guesses on what it is? I don't think I'll have many orders for this style.

I find it hard not to agree with you. But at least you tried. Jim S

From your intro , I thought it was going to be a cow pie , but it doesn`t look that good . The stem of a pithy plant , I would guess .

No. It's from an animal.

Is it a dog turd or a hair ball?

 

[mikespenturningz]

Hair ball as Alzey said.

 

[RMayoIII]

Is that a stabilized mushroom?

 

[farisdayoff]

[edicehouse]

Mountain Oysters?

Hey, big is beautiful, some men prefer the heavy ones!!:biggrin:

 

[Hendu3270]

Looks antler to me as well.

My guess is petrified penial bone from a whale. I have a knife a friend made me with that material

All previous posts were good guesses. Not Penial whale bone. But you're the closest. Here's a hint. I call it a Pizzle Pen.

Don't tell me it's from a bull.....

You got it!! Think it'll sell?

 

[bjbear76]

A friend of mine once bought a cane made from it. It would be a novelty...especially among the local rednecks. :biggrin:

 

[bjbear76]

uh, I think I just broke my habit of holding my pen in my mouth while on the computer

seems Edicehouse was in the right neighbourhood with the mountain oysters...

Sometimes this place scares me.

Where do you even get something like that?!

You can buy them commercially as dog treats, either as "Pizzles" or "Bully Sticks".

A dried penis shaft from a 3 yr. old, deceased, Dalmation, whelped in Sanfrancisco, CA. and transferred to a K-9 distributor located in St. Louis MO. Also, your original discription is exacting, I once had a girlfriend that was shaped like that, and yes she was ugly too! You should not have posted that photo, you could probably won the nest "ugliest pen contest" ! This is fun!!!

So...... Now my wife won't touch my iPad.
Thanks Burlman!:biggrin:

That's not a question you really want the answer to, is it?

I know what the answer would have been around my house growing up!

I have to admit I'm still with out the words, a Bull Pe(k(r who'da thunk,I can't help feeling that there is a constant need to wash your hands after writing with it.
It certainly will defy most most gentile explanations of material origin.
And the shavings,did you wear a radiation suit?
That is one cool pen.

No suit, but definitely a respirator. Smells a lot like antler when turning and drilling. I think I'm going to donate this one as a door prize at one of the many agility contests my wife and I compete in.
