Popular Post Dan Posted December 12, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) I think it's been 83 years since I last posted some work. I did this on a whim. The deer silhouette is walnut finished in BLO/MS mix and the antler is from a white-tailed deer. I plan to use button pegs to cover the screws. Sorry for the crappy photo, I'm out of practice.

Charlie E Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Cool! First time I've seen that done. I'm not a hunter anymore but I do need a coat/hat hanger in my shop and I'm pretty sure my father-in-law has some old racks laying around. How did you fasten the antler?

I sanded a flat spot on the back and drilled 2 pilot holes. #6 wood screws seem to work well. danny and Charlie E 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie E Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 You inspired me Dan. My Father-in-law passed away about a week ago. I found an old rack and a rough cut oak board in his shed and made this for my shop. I barely sanded it and cut it off with a rusty hand saw in his shed. I like it like it is. danny and Dan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 Very beautiful work Dan. A few ago I had cut a cougar pattern out of a moose antler. I remember the stench from the cutting was just awful. You really need to wear a mask when cutting antlers. Merry Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
