Red Stag Closed End

[keithbyrd]

This was made for an avid hunter from Red Stag that he got in New Zealand.
Finished with CA and buffed and polished. Overall length 8 inches! I thought it would be awkward in my hand but it actually feels very comfortable and balanced!
Comments and critique appreciated!

Very cool.

Love it!! What components are those?

That is fantastic. The deer antler I get is too curved to get something that long and still keep some brown spots.

Thank you. They are the Statesman.

Closed end antler, think this is the first I've seen?

Well done! What did you use as a finish?

Thanks Scott -
Sanded to 1200, 8-10 coats of CA, sanded to 1200 then buffed with Huts plastic and ren wax.

I think you did an outstanding job on that pen. Ones I have seen in the past were more like desk pens, and not really to my liking, but this one is very nice. Great finish on it also.

Thank you - I was concerned it would be too big but it feels pretty good!

Terrific Pen, looks Great.
Could it accommodate a little shaping on the end? then you could also have a letter opener.
Congratulations,
Brian
