Garage sales, flea markets, auctions, antique shops, friends, etc.
A friend of mine had a pit bull he let run loose. I don't generally think this a good idea. But his pit regularly brought antlers back to the house. Sometime entire deer heads and racks. :shocked2: He has cartons full of antler now.
One day the dog did not return home. Methinks his head is now on display somewhere.

One secret with turning deer antler applied spouts, is to make the spouts out of two sections or pieces of antler. A base and a spout tip.

Remember to just use the solid white antler pieces.
