Wives..... GRRRRRRRRRR

[Old Griz]

Just showed SWHTM the axis deer jr gent below.... her response... "I don't know.. it doesn't look like antler to me... too much like a kind of ivory... I really like the other antler better... "
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... OK this is the same woman that I love dearly who told me after I spent 2 weeks working on a scroll saw project that won first place in a competition..... "It's a fish"...

So whats wrong with an Ivory lookalike :> Better than Plastic! Nice pen, some day when I grow up, I'll buy some Axis Antler. Really cool stuff. Also nice job on the "Fish". Too bad it wasn't a "Brookie"!

[Old Griz]

Don't have a brookie.. how about a rainbow.... LOL... this is just the pattern... the finished piece was sold...

 

[Fleabit]

Sorry Griz. But the pen still looks great lol. Excellent job on the "Fish" too.

 

[lkorn]

RAinbows are cool too! Love those Trout!

Tom, the first was is hard to see, it is covered by a blue price tag [] Congrats [] I take back what I said about not making pens [] Now I know where you spend all your time, both pieces are wonderfull works of art. I would not have the patience for that type of work, good jub.

 

[Rifleman1776]

It does look like ivory. That's good, very elegant. Raise the price.

 

[wayneis]

It looks like a white pen with a fish swimming around under it.

The devil made me say it, LOL.

Hey, don't dangle that ivory - urr ANTLER - pen any lower! That fish is gonna snatch it up!!!

Both look great, Griz. Just tell your wife you love her anyway.

 

[swm6500]

Well, there is just no pleasing some people some of the time.

 

[rtjw]

Wives, ya goota love cause ya cant killem. LOL

 

[JimGo]

Tom, I almost feel off my chair I'm laughing so hard! That sounds like MY wife!

 

[WoodChucker]

Tom, I shouldn't have to tell you this, I'm sure you've been married long enough to know it. But all you have to do is say, "Honey, look what I made for you" . Then say you still have to buff it a little so she doesn't snatch it up. []

OH, that's a beautiful pen!

 

[rtparso]

Life is funny. You work your A** off and they say "it looks like a fish" (well it does 8^) but you slap somthing together and they go nuts.

 

[KKingery]

Beautiful work Tom!

 

[woodscavenger]

My wife about most of my pens....." yeah, it's wood.....so?"

 

[driften]

Great Job Tom! I think its worth every penny you want to put on it.

I would love to do a pen like that..... When RTJW gets more antler I want to give it a try!

Nice work Tom, on the bait and the fish!!!

 

[pastorbill1952]

Outstanding job. No veininess like most antlers that I have seen. Highest accolades. Blue ribbons are not high enough.

Tom,

Let's see, you turn outstanding pens, then take gorgeous pictures of them, share your knowledge on-line and with guests in your shop, then, when your bored you do prize-winning scroll saw work. The rest of us can tell your lovely wife, she is married to a very talented man!

Beautiful work throughout.
