few last minute christmas gift orders

[maverick31]

here are a few last minute gifts that I made today. by the way it was freezing and snowing in waco today, go figure.









The top 2 pics are a zebrawood classic pen with gun metal finish. I wish all the antler I have came out like the really white one. Most of the ones I have made turn grey when turning. I saw somewhere that axis deer antler is very white. I am going to try that some day too. I hope they like them.

Nice work - I like that Zebrawood a lot - the Zebrawood I have is completely striped - tip to tip, which is cool - but yours is really cool too!

That is really cool Zebrawood! I have never seen any come out looking like that either - that is really a nice look.

Oh, I really like that slimline antler pen too! Those are hard to do - heck those are hard to get drilled!

Nice job on both pens.

thanks guys, I made about 5 slimline antler pens for gifts and I think i cut up about 5 sets of horns to get 5 pens. real pita

Yes - a PITA to cut up, and guess what? My tiny little 9" Delta BS just took a chit on me...well - the blade broke - I bought a 1/4" blade to replace the tiny 1/8" blade I had on there.... I can't get the damn thing to track right....no matter how tight or loose I do the tention - no matter how much I adjust the blade on the upper wheel by hand as I rotate it by hand, the damn thing keeps slipping to the back of the wheel - and then falling off with continuous running, or by any sort of pressure on the blade from trying to cut something.

I'm pissed! I no have no good way to cut up antlers.
