Chrome in Prairie Rattler. If these sell, I'll have to start making my own I guess.

Very nice!
I really like the snake skin pens...I guess I better go buy some and turn some.

Got most all my help learning this from Don (Virgil) here, as stated in the first paragraph. Give credit where credit is due. It's a step by step of how I do mine.

Skye, that's a great article! Thanks for sharing it. Where did you find the rubber stoppers?
Skye

Thanks, I get my stoppers from a local tiny Ace hardware for 19 cents a piece. I also tried to get them at the local Super Mega Home Improvement shop, but they were about 50 cents a pop.

Billy,
Sorry, I got so into Skye's article, I forgot to compliment you on the excellent job you did with this pen (which was the reason I had scrolled down in the first place!). I really like the shape of the barrel on this and the previous Sierra you posted. Kinda jazzes up the pen some without being too 'over the top' or out of place.

You dont. It's real snake skin, tanned with a process that doesnt (if you buy from the right place) react with the resin.
