Wow. Looks great.

How the heck do you come across a warthog tusk? Is it solid inside?

The chromeish kit,copper tip and different shapes give the hog material somewhere to be seen,well seen mate.

Benefits of an annual hunting trip. Great salami and kabernossi, and now I can use the tusks as well. A good tusk will measure about 30 cm, of which the outer half is solid.

Very nice job, it's got a few flecks in it too which adds to it... really nice job.....if you keep your shot cases I'll teach you how to turn them too

Very unusual material to make a pen from, but stunning looks and very well turned. Well done.

I have to believe this material was on the difficult side to turn. What tools did you use? What was your sanding protocol? Great souvenir souvenir of a successful hunt. Awesome pen.

Similar to resin, slightly harder. Sanded down to 4000 and finished with some plasticX (I think it's called). Most difficult part is the smell - just like being in the dentist's chair.
