The picture is two views of the same pen.

The barrells are made from stabilized and colored Giraffe bones.

The Tip, Center Band and Finial are made from Elephant Ivory.

The Clip is Ti gold plated.

Wow, just when I think I have seen it all. Nice job. Whatever made you think of Giraffe bones? And how did you happen to get hold of them?
 
Thanks Gary, my sons bought the material at a gun show, it was really sold as knife handle material. Machines like other animal bone, ivory.

Those are very cool. They have quite a nice rustic appeal.

Gary..you just run on down to Potter Park Zoo with your chainsaw!:biggrin:

I can see the headline now... "Man with Chainsaw stomped to death by Giraffe, No bones about it"

Thanks for the compliment. Elephant Ivory can't be imported into the US or exported from the US, however, there seems to be a supply of it (pre ban) still within the US that can be utilized for things such as pens.
