Here is a CiGAR pen made from the scales and tail of a longnose gar. One of my other interests is bowfishing and gar is one of the species that we frequently shoot. My bowfishing mentor shot a small gar so I kept it and made a pen from it to give him as a token of my appreciation for his help! The lower barrel is made from the skin/scales of the gar and the top is made from the tail. I cured the skins myself and then cast them like snakeskin in Alumilite Water Clear resin. Comments appreciated, good or bad!
