We have a winner!!!!
Really three winners. Curtis (Mesquiteman) guessed first, Alex second (ZanderPommo) and Keith (Creativewriting) all said Giraffe bone. Keith these were made from knife scales, your right the knife makers use these, I got mine from a very well known knife maker Jerry McCure. He didn't think I could get a pen out of these, below you'll see how close I had to drill (THANK YOU Paul Huffman for the PHDesigns vise or it couldn be done)

Yes they are all stablized and dyed, expensive but make a great knife and now a pen. I was at an art show in NM and met him and his wife and found that they live 30 miles from me. Hope to get some more in other colors
Nice stuff. I've had a piece with sitting in the shop for a few years. Been on my to do list, but have also been warned about the odor. Mine doesn't look stabilized or dyed but it may be.

Your right about the odor, it's much worse than antler and makes gator smell nice....

The pen looks great Roy. When you go to Africa to wrestle down a giraffe for some more leg bones...I want to be there! :biggrin:

I tend to think Giraffe shin bone or tibia too, but if so that's not it's normal exterior appearance. It may have been textured and dyed or "jigged" for use as a knife handle and you just turned most of it away?
(ok, so I didn't see the page two, so shoot me
I don't know for sure how it was on turning tools, but I do know that when your making a knife out of it, it's eats $7.00 zircon sanding belts for the 2x72 grinder like potato chips! And yes, it does stink, but still not as bad as the buffalo horn.
