Pen I made today for a fellow coach who is getting married Saturday. It is deer antler and cherry with a rifle clip. I chose that combo because he couldn't decide if he would want a cherry pen or antler pen. I just combined them.

Nice workmanship but the material combo does not work for me. I may be bias I love Cherry for flat wood project or bigger turning but not so much for pens. Oh yeah and what happened to the clip?

Coach,
I like the curve to the lower berrel, but the upper barrel doesn't quite seem to flow into the finial. I agree wuth Mike, too; the colors don't quite work together for me (personal taste issue, though, so easily discounted). On the plus side, the finish looks great on both parts!

I agree with the wood combination. I just know it is what he will like. He may be the only person who has told me they really like Cherry pens. Nothing happened to the clip. I think the angle makes it look strange. I usually don't try antler this porous, but after seeing Eagle's pens I thought I'd try it. I like the look and the finish came out great on the antler. Thanks for your honest comments!

He will probably love it Coach. I have a batch of cherry, and I am not too crazy about it either.
