Elk antler and 30-06 casings,,,,,

[stevers]

Hi All,
I made these two for my oldest son. He lives up in Northern Oregon and we feel there will be a call for these up there.
Simple 30-06 shells with a couple of tines of Elk antler. I had the gold nibs in my parts box, so I didn't break up a kit of bright copper for the nibs. This is to see how folks welcome them up north. If they sell I would probably start using the real bullet in place of the nib. Also may use powder coated shells to keep the shine. Some folks like the shell to look natural though, so maybe upon request.

Tim's right... I can't seem to make enough bullet pens. They snap them up right and left... especially with antler or snakeskin.

Hi, nice job on the pens,some how,but can`t put my finger on it,is that the bullet nib should remain a pen part the way it is done in your pens. just a thought. Carl

Here's hoping they snap these up. Thanks for the kind words.

Very, very nice pens.

I have all the stuff to make them, just gotta do it. I just hate the smell of the antler when working with it.

Right now all I have is a standard dust mask, but anything helps. If I keep the dust out of my nose and mouth, the smell doesn't seem to be near as bad.
