Turned Exotic Wood & Antler Pens



The black ebony pen, has a brushed satin finish to it which compliments the wood well.




This slim line pen is made of Amboyna Burl from the Nara Tree in the East Indies. The finish is 24 karet gold.




Made March 4, 2009 this Mont Blanc pen is turned from a dropped whitetail deer antler. It was used to barter for wooden burls, ancient wood from North of the Arctic Circle, mostly black spruce and some yellow birch, along with some pieces of shed caribou antler. This pen usually sells for $45.00 Canadian. Bartered.




The following three Mont Blanc pens, with a 24 karat gold finish are made from Manitoba Maple given to Michael by Bob Lavender of Saskatoon. A gift to a friend, two sold.
