You get the color variation from the drying of the velvet which is actually skin.  You look at a deer on the hoof ( alive ) and compare it to a artificially revelveted buck an they will look a lot more similar that a preserved set of velvet antlers. As a taxidermist you are looking to recreate a live animal and that is what the artificial velvet recreates.   Not Dried up scabby velvet antlers.  Live deer velvet antlers are very uniform, and have very little color variation until the blood under the velvet is cut off, and begins its process of drying and shedding. 

Very well put Dug!

I agree with most of that, you have some good points. I guess i'm just thinking of most deer that are killed with our seasons, in which the velvet is very close to shedding. To each their own!

I always think the artificial velvet looks too fake. I've never had to deal with it and most likely won't with the seasons we have but I would have them freeze dried if I killed a buck worthy of saving the velvet on.
:yeah: never would I have artificial, unless someone could show me pics of it done where it actually looks natural
