The Antler series consists of a wide assortment of styles, all carefully crafted from genuine Mule Deer or Whitetail antlers. Each pen is unique and will never be duplicated exactly, although similar styles may be made. Some pens are finished with a high polish, while others are infused with metal dust (copper, platinum, bronze, etc.) to give a truly one-of-a-kind look to the pen. Our antlers are mostly sheds gathered by friends and family members after each season in the Texas hill country and North-eastern Oklahoma. Much effort is made to preserve the natural beauty and character inherent in antler.
Tine Classic - $85
Made from a single tine of an antler set, this fountain pen is formed mostly by hand. The nature of the assembly of this pen prevents traditional turning methods, so it is drilled , shaped, and assembled by hand. The curve of the antler fits wonderfully for both right handed and left handed writers, simply by resetting the nib to a more comfortable position. This pen uses only disposable ink cartridges, available at your local office supply store, as it does not have the depth necessary for a refillable cartridge. This is a medium/large pen, and it longer than a standard fountain pen.
Antler Cartridge Pens - $40
Assembled with a real .30 caliber shell casing, these pens are the perfect accessory for the sportsman. 30-30, .308, or 30-06 shells are drilled and crafted to be used in these pens with stunning results. A copper finish tip, clip and cap add effect to resemble a real bullet. Each pen is topped with a beautifully turned antler to finish off the ultimate expression for a sportsman or hunter. These are a twist pens, and use a cross style refill.
Big Ben Pen - Antler, Chrome Finish - $35
Turned from a 2 yr old shed, this Big Ben Cigar Pen fills even the biggest hands while displaying the clear beauty of Oklahoma Whitetail antler. This is a twist pen that uses parker style refills, available at your local office supply store, and some mass retailers. This is a medium/large pen.
Classic Fountain Pen - Antler, Satin Silver Finish - $55
The large bulbs on this pen may look different, but their function is unbelievable. They rest perfectly in a medium or large hand and showcase the natural grained pattern of the antler they were turned from. A smooth and polished finish adds wonderful depth to the finished instrument. This is a medium/large pen, and it uses standard disposable ink cartridges, or an optional refillable ink cartridge available upon request for an additional $2.
Olympian Elite Fountain Pen - Antler, Gold Platinum - $55
Once again showcasing the natural beauty of Oklahoma Whitetail antler, this Olympian Elite is slightly larger and lighter than the classic fountain, making for a different feel and balance when writing. This is a large pen, and it uses standard disposable ink cartridges, or an optional refillable ink cartridge available upon request for an additional $2.
Slimline Pen - Antler infused w/copper, Copper Finish - $25
As antler grows beyond a certain size, the inner portions become porous, and when turned to a certain size, those pores become visible. After rough turning, these blanks were carefully filled with fine copper dust and then sealed with epoxy. Finally sanded, polished, and finished to a high gloss, this is a truly unique writing instrument with a wonderfully weighted feel. This is a small pen, and it uses standard cross style refills.
Slimline Pencil - Antler, Satin Silver Finish - $25
With slightly oversized barrels, this pen has a different feel than standard slimlines, but still fits the hand well. The antler is turned to a larger size, and tapered at the ends to give a smooth and uniform finish. This is a small pencil, and it uses standard 7mm lead.
Tine Jr. Statesman Fountain w/1867 3 cent Nickel - $175
This fountain pen is made similarly to the Tine Classic, but with some distinctions that really set this pen apart. It starts with a single tine from a set of antlers. The tine is cut to size and then drilled by hand. After step drilling to progressively smaller sizes to account for the taper of the tine, the components for the fountain are assembled and inserted. For the cap, the remainder of the tine is cut and carefully hand carved to maintain as much of the natural shape of the antler as possible. At this point, both cap and body are sanded and polished before final assembly. Once the center band and clip have been secured in place, the 1867 3-cent Nickel is carefully placed as the endcap for the final touch.
A truly distinctive pen that is sure to stand out and make a statement either in a collection, or as an everyday user. These pens can be made with many different coins (18mm diameter or smaller), including all 3-cent nickels from 1851-1889, as well as all dimes 1837-present. These pens are made to order on customer specifications for the included coins, and prices fluctuate as per the value of the chosen coin. Customers coins may be used upon request for a slight discount. Please call or email with any questions regarding these pens.
