Sagebrush/antler Pentel pencil

[Doug B]

I made this yesterday, but we were without internet from yesterday afternoon until about noon today so I could not get onto the forum. Amazing how you don't realize how much you use the internet for until you don't have it anymore!

Anyway, the pencil has Sagebrush that I collected myself from Cedar Breaks in Utah for the upper portion, with deer antler on the bottom.

Since we have been talking about pickguard lately, I should explain that I used black/white/black pickguard next to cream pickguard sandwiched around a small piece of Bloodwood. I really like the cream pickguard next to the Bloodwood, and black is always a good separator color for antler.



Best of all, LOML really likes the design, and she is usually pretty good about those color combination things...lots better than me.

and of course (Best of all, LOML really likes the design, and she is usually pretty good about those color combination things...lots better than me.) women are always better at that kind of stuff then us.

Fantastic!! I really like the small amount of antler I'm bottom with wood on top. The pickguard does look very nice in the combo. Where do you get your pickguard Doug?

Zac, I get my pickguard from Grizzly. Amazing huh!?! Whoda thunkit, but it seems the owner of Grizzly is into looth...luth...louth....he makes guitars ;D

It's kind of hard to find the square sheets that I have ordered from them, but here is a link to one of them.

I used the catalog numbers when ordering because the web site has something not quite correct and was really confusing.

I got the b/w/b, the w/b/w, the solid black, and the cream colors. At $10.95, that is a great price for a big sheet that will last a long time.
