This is also my first rattlesnake pen.

Nice looking pen. How did you do it? What does the back side look like?

Very nice Paul, what did you use for a finish or top coat? By the photo it looks like no finish. I have had a batch sitting in a cast, need to finish them. Should be about 3 more weeks and they will be out. Good job.

Anthony thanks, I used a couple layers of ca, just enough to coat all the skin but still get the feel of the scales.

That is very cool Paul. That's the first one I've seen that retained the snakeskin texture.

 

[Fleabit]

Nice skin. The pen looks to be crawling away on it own.

Looks like a nice job on that Paul!!

WOW....For those of us that don't really care for snakes I'm not sure if I'd want to pick that up. Looks like a nice job.

Leaving the scales scaley was a classic move! Wow. That is great.

 

[jwoodwright]

Wow! Looks great.[]

Does it bite? []

Nice job?

Great looking pen. Perfect for "venomous" attacks - or are they still called editorials!?!

That is one cool looking pen. I got a hair raising feeling looking at the scales. Nice work.

 

[jdavis]

Nice work on the finish. Scales effect is excellent. Nice job.

Nice work, Paul!

You did such a great job on that pen... when the pic first came up, being as I don't like snakes, I actually got a chill up my spine. Not a big fan of the material but great job on the pen.
