Antler cleaning.
« on: January 16, 2015, 07:45:22 PM »
I am finally cleaning up a set of elk antlers from this past season. I know its about time. He was really muddy including the antlers.  I'm using soap and water but it doesn't seem to be working very well. Any suggestions?

Pressure wash them. Then let dry and rub with a good car wax. Use a buffing wheel on the ivory to make em shine.

Be careful pressure washing as you could discolor them if you use the wrong nozzle.
