I dunno, most of the "Old Dears" I know are pretty smelly Nice work though.

I'm yet to tempt any bone type materials, I'm not sure my tools (or my sharpening skills) are up to it.

Finished high grit sand paper.

They are a good kit Ben, just put an order in with Timberbits for for samples for my local guild to sell. Gee I would like your stock of antler, to have stuff that doesn't stink would be brilliant. Did a good job turning it, what finish did you use on your pen?

Cheers

There is no finish on it just sanded it to about 3000 and it puts a shine on its self. The antler that I have is quite skinny and did not leave a rough texture. You can also use a CA finish on it.

Nifty little piece sire! welldone!
