Requested Antler

[fiferb]

I wouldn't have put this together like this on my own but I think it came out ok. This was a special request by a customer. Comments appreciated.

It only matter what the customer wants, that is all I can say about it.

I think it's a ratherr interesting take on the antler pen. I like it.

No they are not! but they are the customer.

What Dave said was my mantra when I owned my stores.
But, in this case, what we have is a unique pen. I haven't seen this idea used before. I think incorporating the use of the button with another style pen would have been better. But, even this lowly slimline is very special to it's owner. I say a "Well done" is in order.

Interesting use of antler, and I think you pulled it off!

 

[jackrichington]

very clever..odd looking because we have never seen it before..will it grow on us???

I hope they don't put it in their back pocket and sit down[:0]. It is a rather unusual look, but it is what the customer wants and is PAYING for. The pen looks to be well made, just not my style.

Well done, beautiful pen![]

Hey Bruce, that turned out really nice. Any time you can leave natural texture on antler its a winner! I make a lot of antler pens but found that the slimline centers are a bit thin and over time and use, the antler has a high chance of cracking. Ive switched to comfort center bands to help reduce those chances.

Yep, interesting! Nicely executed, the natural features make it very unique.

Thanks for all the comments. This guy actually sent me a picture of a similar pen someone else had made and asked if I could make one like it. Of course mine came out better.[] I figure the very least this will become a conversation piece for him and who knows, it may turn into more sales.

Very nice looking pen!

I think it's clever how you notched the antler to accommodate the clip. Nicely done at that!!!
