From Buffalo to Pen

[MartinPens]

A Buffalo trinket from a Thrift store into a pen. I believe the wood is Desert Ironwood. The kit is the Cambridge Hybrid Sterling Silver and Gold from Woodcraft. Enjoy!

Very nice!! Love that pen kit too!

Great save, I have several of those carvings put aside just for that purpose. The pen looks great.

Very nice. That's a beauty.

Who would have thought that pen was hiding inside a trinket.

BTW: Thank you. That really opened my eyes as to the possibilities present all around me everyday.

Poor Buffalo But a great looking pen and I would say it is Ironwood as I have a ton of the stuff here.

Great looking pen. I have some blanks from a carving myself but haven't turned them yet. You have given me new interest in doing just that.

Great job. I have a few DI carvings that I have been eye-ing up for the same purpose. I have yet to try the thrift store as a source.

Ah, the noble buffalo now put to an even nobler purpose

Great looking pen, good find. I actually picked up a set of fork and spoon the other day from Walmart that is "Natural Acacia" wood with great looking grain. I don't have it turned yet but I will post pics when I get them done. It just goes to show that there are many posibilities out there, all we have to do is see them.
Good job, Papamark

NICE!

I wonder if everyone has some weird trinket waiting to made into a pen. I have a set of "ShiShi dogs"??? my brother sent me from Okinawa. I have been told they are made from red jade. I think they would make cool pens! My wife keeps stopping me every time i head for the shop with them!

Great job on the pen.
