I put an ad in for antler. I trade completed pens for antler. Well this retired Chiropractor and Gold dealer brought by two boxes full of antler. We inventoried it and struck a deal. He called yesterday and asked if one of the agreed upon pens were ready yet. Very polite. I had just finished drilling about forty five pair of 2-1/4 and asked him if he'd like to join me while we made the first pen. I said he could take it with him when we were finished. He actually is going to get ten pens over a period of three months. I did not think of this but he was not warned about the smell of the burning antler. I think I am going to have a little fun with this fellow. He either will become a pen turner or puke.

lol. I had a small shard of antler I was trying to segment into a pen.

Antler is NOW banned in the house... I need a better air filtration system.. :biggrin:

Reminds me of Hunt for Red October when the Russian guy offered Alec Baldwin a cigarette and Alec did not smoke - to say nothing about the unfiltered cigarette. Alec pretended to smoke and just turned green. I can see this guy sitting there, turning green before I offer him a mask. Heh, heh, heh.

I don't think I would offer him a mask. A plastic or paper bag probably would be a much better idea IMHO! Better yet, put a plastic bag into the paper bag. That way you won't have to look at it either.

And as far as a video goes ... WARN us all beforehand P L E A S E!
