Havent turned cow horn, buffalo horn or antler. Looks a cracking pen, bet the cows a bit miffed though! Have you been frequenting abattoirs? where do you get cow horn from Yeah Yeah I know Cows - but they tend to want to hang on to them.

That is a superb pen Dylan, I love the way the colour flows from white to brown and the shine that you've got on it. I'm not sure I would have put that clip on it but that's a matter of personal choice and it looks good with it anyway.
