That is gorgeous! I've been toying with the idea of alternative materials for guards, and this just reinforces that curiosity.

I like it, especially your use of the antler for your guard.
It can't be easy coming up with ideas that are not commonly used.

Thanks for the positive comments.

Kevin, your correct it is not easy comming up with ideas, thats why I borrow them from others! MS E. Jay Hendrickson and his son JS Shawn use antler fingerguards, I love the look and went with it!
