Looks like there's more than one approach to coloring antlers. Nice job Michelle, and from what I can see in your pics duckfvr, yours turned out nice too.
The ones I found in Oct were bone white on the exposed sides and natural brown on the under side. No chew marks at all. Perfect condition. Took them home and went through my coloring process. The photo's of my stained sheds are after the first steps of that process.
