That's gorgeous, Smith!

How long did it take you to train the snake to hold the pen long enough to get the photo?


Now that's funny :D

Very nice pen, and what a great idea for the pen holder!!

Look at the size of the fangs on that thing! :shock:
It's got rattles, but I don't recognize the species. If I run across a cottonmouth this year, what address do I send it to? :wink: :D

Seriously, that is a great concept! Pen holders are usually so blah, sameold, sameold. I love your idea. :-D :-D

veeeery cool- do you cast your own blanks? there are some awfully interesting how-to's on the penturner's forum (step 1. hear spouse scream, step 2. see spouse run faster than you have seen her run in 30 years... step 3. get hoe.. etc etc...)

Thanks Lawrence the blanks came from Arizons Silhouette. It was a fun project and challenging. There are more pictures in the wood turning section. Smith

I'll bet you could make more than a few dollars selling those to Arizona Diamondbacks fans. I personally would LOVE to have one of those...too cool.
