Antler Ideas

[tryinhard]

Hey guys,

I'm out of ideas for my antler. Just got done with a 30 gr. powder measure. Got all kinds of buttons and knife handles. Yall got any ideas?

Thanks,

TH - I've used antler for handle \ tops for short starters and range rods.

The tips of antlers can be made into a necklace that looks like claws or fangs.

You can also inlay crushed turquoise in antler burrs to make a great pendant too.

If you have a flintlock, you can use a hollowed out antler for a pan charger.

Good Luck !

My vent pick is a wire attached to a piece of antler tine, and I like it.

An inkpen made from an antler would be interesting. Some ladies might like earrings made from the very tip of the tines. A big straight piece of antler could contain a small flashlight.

I've used antler for small file handles,and handle for home-made tool to cut grooves in leather when making knife sheaths.

Forks make good pipes, or handles for short starters.

What do you use to inlay the turquoise?

I've made bottles out of a 3" - 5" long beam section, hollowing out from the smaller, then making the dead end from a piece of Walnut (whatever), and a stopper from another/smaller tip - or a brass horn filling fitting.

(I found/bought the antique drinking horn)
