I've had this pen for awhile, but just got around to posting it.
Both the casing (30-06) and the antler came from TBone.
He sent a set for both me and my brother. Daniel entered his in the Slimline Contest awhile back. Here's mine, I think it turned out great!
Here's a shot of how the upper and lower barrels go together:
The casing has about 1" wood core in which the tube is glued and then the nib was pressed in as normal. I turned a tenon on the upper barrel to keep both halves of the pen in line with each other. The antler has a CA finish, the casing has no finish and I left the "used" patina on it. I have carried it around now for awhile and it has held up very well.
Thanks again, TBone!
