Powder measurers, knife handles and buttons, typical stuff...

 

I have use deer or elk antlers fo knife handles...Plug for powder horn ( now have a screw on cap).. gear shift knob on my 37 chevy pickup truck... coat hook at the camp...light string knob pull....ratteling horns.... belt buckle from base of elk horn...and buttons on a jacket (wife did that) actually you can find lots of things to use them for or in a project.

I have a set of powder measures made from antler tips. Also have a tool for tightening jaws on a flinter made from one. Had a pipe once-tasted like manure tho... :m2c: I am also working on a pan primer made from antler tip.

I am also working on a pan primer made from antler tip.

I have an antler pocket pan-primer with a 3grn plunger dispenser on one end, and a very small brass 'drawer pull' on the other end for re-filling...holds about 90grns...great for day hunts

I've made all sorts of stuff out of antler. I've put it on the end of my striker for my slate turkey call. I've used it for the mouth of a ball bag and shot bags.

I've made pipe bowls from it and all the other things everyone else has mentioned.

But one of my favorite things I made is a pan brush out of turkey beard and an antler tip! It's been used a lot and is still doing the job!

Other than what everyone else listed, I made a lacing fid handle, assorted tool handles, and the business end of a mariner's spike for splicing rope, with a real pretty birch grip, and as a clasp on some possibles bags and purses.

I also use small tines and antler beads made into a necklace or dangle as incentive gifts for my volunteers at camp.

Powder measures, a pan primer with a 3 grn spring loaded push-type dispenser, and just this evening, a throat for a ball bag I'm making.

That's my mentor Bob Waalden he's quite a gun builder. He was at a rondy somewhere and someone got him to pose. I wish I could say it the juice but he's a tea totaler! :crackup:

That'd be a good hat for MM mother-in-law! Huh!
