My 12yo Son is starting to do pretty good building the pens. He got commissioned by a family member to build a fountain pen with a turquois inlay of a spider and web for a gift. He hadn't done anything with that complex an inlay before, so I told him he had to practice by turning out a hand call and doing the same inlay on it in moose antler.
This is that call body!
It's Walnut, and he turned it out from a round blank, did all the inlay, filling, and finishing. The only thing I'm going to do is voice it for you. (Either a distress voice, or a Cougar Whistle voice. Your Choice.)
I wanted to run it as AUCTION to let you set your own price, since it's his, and he did all the work.

Start it at $5 for shipping and you take it from there. End it Sunday at 7PM.
Thanks!

This is just David getting some back out of his several days work... which I required him do before he tried it on a pen! I told him I’d get it sold for him after, but he had to do it for a trial run. He did some re-do’s on a couple spots and learned a lot about doing an inlay.
Not a charity, more in line with our homeschooling! We do lots of real life stuff in addition to “curriculum!”
