Not Really! No contention here.
But I am interested in everyone's take on turning pens from bone.
Have you turned a pen from bone? What kind of bone would you use? What kind of finish did you use? How did it turn out?
I have turned plenty of antler, and I suspect it would be somewhat similar, but softer. I think the biggest challenge would be to find a piece large enough for a bigger pen. Or what do you think of the idea of using a smaller bone, close to the size you want the pen to be, and just drilling out the center and turning it?
I am looking forward to your opinion on this!
