I had a number of requests to make a shell casing/antler pen, so here is what I came up with. I used a 30-06 shell and deer antler.

I cut one shell off about a quarter inch from the end and the turned it to size to press fit it back on to the end so that the clip came out of the groove in the shell. I also had to use a dremel to make a notch in the end of the barrel to accomodate the clip. I guess that I should have taken pics to document it all.dougle40: Very nice Mike, How was the clip attached?

<br />Hey Mike--Nice work!!!! It appears there's some gold coloring in the antler which I like---is that natural?? Or did you sand some of the brass into the antler??
Don does a great job on his pens too---always neat to see the variety of ideas a person can come up with. (What do you suppose the hardness of Woodpecker lips is?)

<br />Don,
What is the size of the arrow shaft? 19,20,or 21 (1912,2012,2112)?
I've been interested in trying this, but haven't had time to get to an archery shop to check shaft sizes. Thanks.
Michael
