Hey, everybody.
I just thought I'd tell ya that I made something cool out of Antler today. My first time working with antler. Cool stuff.
I recieved a small deer antler, I don't know what kind, from a joke gift exchange recently. Somebody thought antler was worthless! Being the crazy baysterd I am, I decided to make a weapon. (of course.) Simple, with small alteration, really. Unfortunately, I can't post pics.
Anyways, I cut off the base and sanded the cut smooth and slightly rounded. Then I sharpened all the tips w/ sander. It just fit really well in my hand when I got it, so I decided to see if I could make something pointy out of it!
It's pretty cool. 3 prongs, one the out-growth of the longest one. I can use it with a wrist snap for a quick slash w/ the longest prong or hold it for a straight punch with another prong. Pretty mean. Anybody else ever do something like this?
As much as anything, this just makes me want to do more with antler. Stuff feels great. Easy to work with, too. Thoughts?
