Dang it! And I've been throwing away all my chucks and pieces.
Great idea, and a nice looking pen.

Dang Chuck, that's a sweet looking pen. Did you finish with CA or leave the natural feel?? Gerry (Chasper) was the one who showed me how he casts his antlers. Since then I've cast about 30 of them.

Looks nice good idea.
Just a couple questions.
I would think it was cast in black resin do you know if it was PR or Alumilite.
Did you paint the tube & the inside of the blank.
I would be worried about painting the inside of the blank as paint mite bleed into the pith of the antler.
Doesn't look like you had that problem looks nice and clean good contrast.
VERY NICE

Thank you Bruce. I used the black nickel tubes from Beartoothwoods. NO painting ! :biggrin: I think Ernie could have put a little more coloring in the mix as it does get just a little transparent close to the tubes.
Bruce, it was Silmar 41. I added black Mica to it for the color.
