Greetings all, I have some rudimentary but burning questions about "stag" I know about the ban on Sambar stag from India. Now for my questions.....
1. What makes sambar stag the best? Is it the best?
2. There are other types of "stag", for example "red stag", elk-horn, and I'm sure other various antlered critters as well. Are these types acceptable for handle use? Do these types of "stag" have less value in the collectable sense?
3. Other than periodic light coat of mineral oil, is there anything else that should be done? Are there better products than mineral oil for protecting "stag"?
4. Will the ban on sambar stag ever be lifted?
I probably have more questions, just can't think of them now. Looking forward to your replies,
Mongo
