Antler with Blue Dye

[Jgrden]

Here are a couple of experiments. Going to price them at eighty-five dollars.



This last picture is pen number 2. It has the antler skin showing.

Now I need to go find Monti. I ran out of medium glue. Love that stuff.

John your pens look great, I tried something like that a while back I used Green dye on the antler and the pen sold about 30 minutes after I put it out at the first show I took it to, (but I didn't get near 85.00) you filthy rich Americans , oh wait I'm a filthy American, OH well I just need to get rich.:usflag::usflag::usflag:

Great lookin' pen John. At what point did you dye the antler?
We should have lunch sometime. I work in the Woodlands mall at Urban Outfitters as the in-house Display Artist.

You betchum Red Rider. Let us get together for lunch. We are in that area quite allot. I put straight dye inside the antler before putting the tube in. Where there were cracks and weak spots the dye showed. I let it set for three weeks. I would like to have tried to pressure it and could have, if I weren't so lazy.
