I guess it fits with the subject of shooting but I'm not sure it fits with that kit because of the shape of the antler. Nicely made and finished though.

Sure is folksy in tune with your site and I like it cause I have never seen one like it and as a one off it is striking and original sure to find a home or keep the aim of every pen.

A very-nicely finished pen, indeed, but would have liked it a tad more conventionally shaped. Having said this, would I buy it for a gift? Most certainly!

Well done, Johnny!

It looks good on the kit Johnny, never turned Antler, but seeing this i guess it isn't the easiest of materials to turn and shape ... :bwink:

I like the unconventional shape John, Antler ain't symmetrical on the deer and if you were gonna keep the husk on you had no choice but to do it the way have init?
