Turning Pens and Such in Ohio

[StGeorge2000]

Hi, everyone! I've been turning for a few years now and just discovered IAP. I'm in the shop almost daily turning and crafting items I sell on the internet. My newest pens have been made with brass cartridge cases and deer antler or exotic wood:

I've been reading through the posts and have already picked up a couple of good pen "tips". Thanks!

Hi George..great lookng pen... How do you prepare the deer antler before turning? I heard there was a 'trick' to keep the soft center from crumbling?

I drill the hole near the center and set the tube with CA. Seems to work well. This is a very popular pen for me!
