OSU Buckeye pen

[Stacie]

So I was bored, and thought it is football season. Let's make a tribute pen. I am not really a fan, but had some buckeye nuts laying around, and my vision came through. Hubby bought me the Scarlet crush acrylic blank from wood craft and a satin nickle slimline kit.

Here is what I came up with. Kind of cool in my opinion. Won't be using the pen, but I am sure I can find someone to eventually take it off my hands.

That is way cool!

I too have been trying to figure out what do with all of the Buckeyes I have been collecting. I am working on a few ideas myself. I wonder how that would look with a scarlet and gray segmented blank?

 

[Stacie]

I think it would look really cool. I have some more buckeyes in the garage, so who knows what will happen with my next attempt.

 

[Seer]

You need to put Maize & Blue on it would look better :biggrin:

Go bucks, I'm from Columbus and my nephew is in charge of the field.

 

[Grizz]

This my version of an OSU pen. But that would be intriguing to work in a Buckeye Nut.

 

[DKF]

I hate that pen...! :biggrin: Actually, nice pen, wrong team.

I might have to snag a few of buckeyes from you on your next visit. I can use some of my red and gray corian to make up something.

Yes but you make nicer pens. This is a silly pen, and well sometimes some people like silly over serious. Have an order for 2 more.

Go Bucks, Michigan Sucks!

That is awesome. Can I ask how you held the Buckeye to safely drill through it?

I was thinking of trying to skin the buckeyes and wrap them around a tube like the Birch bark pen.

I am pretty sure she used the vise on the drill press for it.

 

[Stacie]

rob - i used the vise we use to drill blanks. just tightened until it was snug. you will definitely want to go really slow drilling to have a clean hole.

 

[fishlux]

Woohoo!!! I sold it.

Was there any doubt? Around here you could sell anything with a buckeye on it. And that was a nice pen with or without the nut.

I guess suggesting Orange and Blue will get me shot???? :biggrin:
