Oddities?

[Terredax]

After reading another thread, I started thinking about some of
the pens I've seen on here that were made from odd or out of
the normal materials and items.

I tried a search for some of them, but I don't remember the terms or names used for the pens.

I remember one made from a bolt.
One made with a nut or nuts, and one made from a socket wrench.
I guess these stood out to me, because they were tool related.

Does anyone else remember a pen made from something normally used daily, but has been transformed into a pen?

several of us have made pens from ordinary items as: pasta, pinecones, watch parts etc.

I'm aware of all of the items that have been cast in resin, but that isn't the same thing. Casting items in resin, isn't out of the ordinary.

I'm referring to things like the tools that have been made into pens. I also remember an arrow made into a pen.
I'm sure there are many items that people use for their intended purpose, but others make those items into pens.
Maybe I'm not articulating it properly or maybe I'm the oddity? :frown:

Thanks. That is similar to the bolt I seen, but I don't remember the resin being part of it. I thought it was just a bolt...maybe not.

Do you know of the socket wrench pen?

That would make a nice set as a gift for a mechanic or similar.
Maybe it is made by the same person? I'll look through his album.

There have been pens made from drum sticks, arrows, bullets, antlers, Bolts, screws, gavels, all sorts of rods of different material, corn cobs, pine cones and the list goes on. Check out the contest about can't write with this or whatever it is called.
