Being in the pet supply industry, I've had a rediculous amount of requests for these. I personally don't care much about them, but they are simple to do and certainly a big money maker. Euro's are my number 1 choice, as these are what the ladies seem to prefer, and they are the once that are the big spenders, at least for me they are.
I turn the pen almost to final size. I draw in the paws, pretty simple to do, just with a pencil and I'm running a tiny carbide bit in the foredom power carver.
Mix up the liquid inlace, just a couple drops of hardener is all it takes. Fill in the holes and let sit at least 4 hrs.
Carve them in about a 1/16 deep or a bit more. Just a gentle touch allows more control, the material removes pretty fast.
Turn the inlace off the top and fine tune pen to size, then sand, finish and assemble. That's it
