A Buffalo trinket from a Thrift store into a pen. I believe the wood is Desert Ironwood. The kit is the Cambridge Hybrid Sterling Silver and Gold from Woodcraft. Enjoy!
Great looking pen, good find. I actually picked up a set of fork and spoon the other day from Walmart that is "Natural Acacia" wood with great looking grain. I don't have it turned yet but I will post pics when I get them done. It just goes to show that there are many posibilities out there, all we have to do is see them.
Good job, Papamark
I wonder if everyone has some weird trinket waiting to made into a pen. I have a set of "ShiShi dogs"??? my brother sent me from Okinawa. I have been told they are made from red jade. I think they would make cool pens! My wife keeps stopping me every time i head for the shop with them!
