Very cool Glen !

Great looking set Glen!! :yoyo: :yoyo: :yoyo: :yoyo: Real cool box too.
So how did the drilling go for ya?
Next time take em outside in the sun to take the pics so I dont have to see your bathroom or the dirt in your keyboard again... :laf:
:roflmao:
Thanks guys. I bought that box for a graduation set I made for a fine young man that also shares our passion for the great outdoors & the 2nd Amendment. :yoyo: I just borrowed it for a quick pic on the desk here. :eyebrownod:
The drilling went very well. The turning was the tough part. Somebody told me it's about like turning Ebony. :nofgr: I never had to sharpen tools that much on ebony before!! :nono:
I gotta say this antler stuff wasn't so bad overall. I turn in the garage so smell was never an issue with both doors open. :biggrin: It also seems that some of this stuff finishes smoother than others. The pen is slick but the pencil has a tiny feel of rough to it. So little it can barely be felt. The 3rd pen I turned today was very smooth too. I used the same procedure for all 3. I have 3 more pens to make from this & they will be for sale here. :eyebrow:
Glen,
Good looking pens.

Geez Glen. I won't be able to watch deer walk by without thinking how they'd look on your lathe now. :argh: Great looking instruments right there in that cool looking box.
