If you don't like the smell of turning antler, I've got some Indian water buffalo horn I'll send you. When you get finished with it, antler will smell like chanel #5.
Seriously, I've never had anything run me out of the shop smell wise, but that pen almost did it.
Its good to see that the majority of us on here dislike the smell of antler. I agree however that you get used to it, apparently i can have dust on me and not know it, but if i walk inside, then LOML sure knows it and calls me out!
