Nice pens...all three. I especially like the cow horn one. How about some info on how it was done. My understanding is that cow horn is hollow inside, except for the tip. Did you just use the tip. Did you wrap the horn layers over a wooden base of some kind. I'm curious...can't you tell?
Do a good turn daily!

Txs guys, I was also surprized about the 'horn' turning, you don't know what you get till the end....
I only used the tips, which was still enough to work with....... as long as the horn is straight..
Sometimes if the hole in the horn is still small, I fill it up with epoxy glue, before drilling the holes.
