Well......... was going to go outside and start a commission I've got for a pen and pencil set... but............. was there and fell over a pile of Roe heads I've got... and remembered Id started a pen in Roe antler that I hadn't finished..
Cut a long story short......... Finished the slimline with a bit of a beech blank I had. Im not sure on colour combination, as it went darker than I had anticipated.
and was then going to start a commission I've got for apen and pencil set.......... but i started another part roe antler pen, then deceided to try a two tone top for it and get rid of a satin gold metal work set i seem to keep accumulating..
and ended up with a part beech, part African Blackwood, part roe antler pen... The family think its ok..
Basically the colour combinations are trials to see what woods and metals go with Antler, as I plan to offer a pen making service to fellow hunters wanting to make use of the head, if they are not going to mount it.
As with all my work, feedback appreciated, especially as these are trials, and I'm trying to get an honest opinion.
