Very cool. I have never turned any antler. I do have a blank from a water buffalo that I've had for years, but I've never turned it. I've heard that horn is very susceptible to cracking. - Dave
Dumb question, is it solid or hollow on the inside?

Angler can differ depending on the species. Elk can be more marrow with thin outer edges where whitetail will be a bit thicker with the white outer edge and less marrow depending on where on t he rack the blank is cut. Axis and fallow are more solid for turning small if you want that ivory look.
I like the look of elk and think your pen turned out great.. It tends to be more red and purple in the marrow, it just doesn't have much thickness on your outer white .

The piece I have is solid all the way through.

Good question as the pioneers made horns and powder horns out of the outer sheath of cow horns. But the only dumb question is the one not asked.
