Simple white slim

[Rick_G]

It was "Suggested" by my wife that I make a slim out of the antler for her cousin's wife. The suggestion was made the night before they headed home so I got the tubes glued in and finished the next day. Because I had so much else to do, like go get a new coffee maker when mine would not make coffee this morning and get the house cleaned up as she is coming home it was probably one of my faster pens (about 3 hours)

Deer antler on a ti gold slim. CA finish. A hint of bark showing under the clip where the antler that I thought was thick enough wasn't. A little more curve than I thought. She loved the pen and he liked the one I made him. They did take a bunch of my business cards to pass out when they show off the pens at work.

Nice job on the advertising!

 

[76winger]

Nice, and like the transition between cap and body as well!

Great looking pen - my question is how did you get it so white?

 

[BSea]

That is very nice. I really like the 3 rings on the upper barrel.

Just turned out that way. I was given some moose, elk and white tail and so far have turned some of the moose and white tail and they are both like this.

I would ditto the comments on the rings - the look incredibly classy. Very nice result here.

White, yes. Simple, not so! That is very possibly the best looking slimline I have ever seen! Makes me ashamed to show some of mine. The over sized top and the three rings is beautiful. Great job and thanks for showing.

Yeah. You nailed that one. Definitely need to step my game up on the antler slimlines now.

It looks good. almost makes me want to turn some of that foul smelling stuff. did you use the Euro center bushing to get your size for the center or just eyeball it? I have a couple tubed and ready to turn and was thinking of doing something similar.

This makes me to want to reconsider slimlines. Way to go Rick... (I feel like I am complimenting "myself" as I type this) :wink:

I do most of my slims this way and use the euro bushings to get me close. Also use a pinchuck for the cap so I can cut into the end of the cap and let the barrel slide inside a little.

Same first and last names wouldn't have anything to do with it:biggrin:

 

[OLDMAN5050]

Very clean, great design A+

 

[SteveWatson]

Very nice! I totally agree ctubbs...Im gonna have to try a slimline and ditch that puny center ring. I have made a number of white tail antler pens but have never had one that nice and white. Beautiful pen!

 

[DurocShark]

Classy. I like it.

I was sure most of the other readers wouldn't understand that statement, but glad you did :biggrin: you really did do a wonderful job on this. I love the center band.

 

[propencity]

Very elegant-looking pen. Like the custom centerband. Well done!
