Title: Stained Antler
Post by: John_NY on July 13, 2008, 02:32:05 PM
I made this rabbit distress call yesterday. I used 1/2" delrin to make the toneboard. After looking at it I think I'll make a howler to match it. The antler was really chalky white so I decided to give it a stain.

I really like that! You will get a lot of people wondering what the heck that is. I look forward to seeing the howler.

Thanks for the nice comments. My said in person it looks like a nicely grained piece of wood.
Because this was part of a main beam I assumed I had the other side. Guiess what. Nope can't find it. I guess I'll just put it aside until I can find a piece of antler to work with.  I hate it when that happens.
