Due to some health issues I just haven't felt like being in the shop for a while. Finally getting back to it. It took a while but I finally wired the shop for a 220V 20A circuit for the new lathe CX802 from Busy Bee tools. Entered the Antler, bone etc contest with this pen and took 3rd place. I plan to give it to a young friend of my wife's who is getting married this fall for a wedding pen. Used a section of moose antler that is almost pure white. She hasn't seen it yet and right now has her eye on a spring blossom rollerball in bog oak. I think she will likely change her mind. The chisel handles were turned from Brazilian rosewood to replace the broken and missing handles. The chisels used to belong to my grandfather and my father gave them to me a couple weeks ago. The two on the right are German made and the rest are from a Swedish set. It's pretty obvious which one got used the most.
