Most of you know I will try anything once, and this turned out so well I just might try it a lot. Lets have some fun and see if you can guess what it is. The first hint is it't NOT wood.Here are two pens made from the same material.

Nice work, Roy. I would guess horn....cattle horn. At least it looks like some I tried once. If so, its too bad that only the tip end of 3 or so inches is solid. The rest is hollow or filled with soft tissue. If not horn then my guess would be incorrect.
Do a good turn daily!

I'm guessing a stag handle, too, but from some old kitchen knives (either ones from a garage/estate sale, or ones you snatched from the back of the silverware drawer when your wife wasn't looking...).
