Arkansas Deer Antler

[doug57]

New to pen turning, but I have to say - I'm having a blast!

I was given a small set of well aged antlers, this is the result. I used SA
with a black rubber component in it to glue the bottom tube in and think
that black blotch is where it leached into the wood.

Nice antler pen. You always get a lot of color variation throughout antler, so the blackened area was probably natural. Not your fault. Good job keeping some of the bark on it, too!

yep gotta say you caught on well.... you'll be spending money hand over fist soon,,

Thanks. I gave it to the guy that supplied the antlers, he didn't complain about the splotch.

The remaining 'bark' was pure luck, I wish I could say I meant to do that!

Tell me about it Bro., It's all I can do to keep from ordering bunches of
other styles of kits. The next order will probably be a few bullet and
comfort pens.

This stuff is addictive.

Have you finished your .50 cals?

Some of my best pens are pure luck . . . . . . . . . . . . . ok, OK OK!! . . . . . most of my best pens are pure luck (I hate when my son reads over my shoulder).

Welcome to the forum. Good to see another Arkansas turner join the forum.

Thanks Bob.

Fortunately, I'm still in the 'beginners luck' mode.
