DEER ANTLER PENS
PenDesigns.com offers the finest quality deer antler pens that you will find anywhere.  I use only the finest fittings for these pens just as for all of my high quality collector-grade pens.    After turning to my custom shape, I fill any porous areas, then sand to 12,000 grit before polishing with two different compounds.  The final finish, using methods I have developed over the last 27 years is I believe the best that can be attained with a unique material like deer horn. Turning antler is extremely difficult, taking about three times as long as turning any wood, with several mounting and dismounting steps on the mandrel, therefore my antler pens must command a premium over any of my other pens.  The ultimate writing gift - you will not see these in any department store.

 Do you need a unique gift for a hunter, sportsman, or outdoorsman?  Look no further - ok, go ahead check everywhere else on the internet.  You will see other DEER ANTLER PENS priced both lower and higher than mine.  All I ask is that you compare apples to apples.   I use the highest quality parts available for the best quality pen.

Below is a pile of very high quality, naturally shed, deer antler from a Texas ranch that I am currently cutting, drilling, and preparing to turn into world class writing instruments with Platinum fittings!  It takes a relatively fresh and well preserved shed antler to make a high quality antler pen like the ones shown above - and that's the only kind I will make!   I am always looking to trade a free antler pen for some quality sheds!

antler



I just received a couple of small antler sheds and I wanted to show you my process (in just a few photos) for crafting antler pens.   Photo #1 shows the whole antlers with my hand to show scale.
Antlers need to be at least 1" in diameter at the base to be able to craft one of my custom ballpoint pens.  They need to be at least 1.5"  in diameter at the base to craft a rollerball pen.

The third photo shows the antler rounded to the rough cylinder shape before turning my final custom profile, that you will see nowhere else!!!

I am always looking to trade a free antler pen for some quality antlers in trade!  Please contact me if you have some to trade!


Turning deer antler is really messy!   But the result is worth it!
