I gave a buddy at work a pen and in turn he gave me some deer antler, with a promise of more if I like it ... I like it!
Turns real easy and shines like a bright penny (not the best pic to show the gloss off, still need to fix my lights :( ). The marrow has a nice purple color to it.
The hardest part was drilling the holes, not because this stuff is very hard, but because the antlers curved so much. I wasn't sure if I was going to find a piece straight enough on the spikes to turn.
Anyways ... Here it is. Deer antler slimline. I copied Patrick and put a slight bulge in the middles. I like it but I think they could of been just a little bit skinnier.
