Genuine Snakeskin Pen Blanks

[philkessling]

does anybody still sell snakeskin pen blanks? I bought several years ago: Python, Rattlesnake and Copperhead. Real snakeskins cast in clear resin. The only blanks I see for sale are printed snakeskin and not the real deal. I still have the Rattlesnake fountain pen that I made for myself.

Exotic Blanks sells John Underhill's snakeskin blanks.

Those are the decal ones. I was looking for ones cast with real skins.

Don Ward here makes them. Hit him up.

Yep, I have a couple waiting to be turned I got from Ed that John made.

And Don lives in the middle or rattlesnake country! I am not sure but I think he was one of the original makers of the rattle snake blanks.

As others have said, Ed is also a great source for snake blanks too.

I have several sets of Jr Gent. Rattlesnake blanks. Maybe a couple of Sierras.

Nope. Those are real skins and not decals.

I actually have both at Exoticblanks, real and reproduction blanks. At the moment the real snakeskins are out of stock. Skins are getting more expensive and others like knife and gun grip makers are paying that price so the sellers keep demanding it. Not to mention the failure / success rate in casting snakes. I have more in the works but it will be a few weeks until I get them done. Don Ward makes a very nice snakeskin blank also.

Thanks, John. The ones I had, I think came from you over 10 years ago!
