Deer antler Slimline

[Drstrangefart]

Made this one a minute ago for the widow that sent me the mountain of antler. She's also getting the cross-cut red oak pen I made earlier. CA finish, usual stuff.

Nice pen, Antler pens are fun to make (EVEN THOUGH SAWING THEM STINKS) but they sell so darned well.

I was pleasantly surprised this one turned like it did. I was expecting the messy stuff you get with the marrow and veins. It went BEAUTIFULLY during the turn. I even got ribbons off it.

Wonderful work. You made the tolerances on the waist band perfect. They match the top and bottom perfectly. Rarely do I like a contoured shape and don't see many turners trying it with antler, but you have captured my attention.
Great work, Doctor.

Nice work. Avoid the stink. When I turn or cut antler I'll wear a standard dust mask and suck on one of those red/white mints. Works for me.

Very nice pen.

Nicotine gum usually keeps the worst of it at bay. I've smelled MUCH worse stuff.

That is some good looking antler. Nice job on the pen.

Nice job! I like the shape you did too. I think that is a real good looking turned piece of antler.

I must say that is the nicest one I have seen you make to date.
