I want to make a coffee and end tables and use the antlers for drawer knobs but can't bring myself to cut them up.  So they are piled in a corner.
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

I rented a cabin over new years and they had made coat racks. I liked that one. also the main lodge door handle was a big elk antler.. My roommate has taken some of deer antlers and put them in some flower arrangements. and made a bouquet of elk antlers in a basket. it is kinda cool.
If its brown knock it down

Once I move, mine will all find a nice spot to be hung on the walls, ceiling, etc. I have some great plans to make tables, chairs, etc, but I will probably buy sheds. I can't get myself to drill or cut any of my own.

my wife seems to think a wine bottle holder would be cool.

The trick is to make them look as natural as possible, practice on a few that you dont value as much, after years of shed hunting ya have to do something with them.

I just bought a reproduction moose skull that I will be putting the moose sheds I found behind the house on.  Then will be hanging it in the man cave I am building. All the others are just on a shelf since I have not found many in the past and don't have any decent ones to build anything.

What sucks is the best ones to build with are usually your biggest sheds. Haha. I have a buddy with a shed that hold to. Looks very nice. Cribbage boards look nice but I don't play cribbage and can't chopped up my sheds.

Here's a wine bottle holder I made last year it ended up going to the RMEF Banquet in Colville to be auctioned. And a rear-view mirror thingy that I made for the girlfriend.

I saw in a Feild & Stream magazine that you can drill two holes in the base of the shed and screw it into the wall to make a coat/hat hanger. Once i get my own house I plan on doing that.

if you are going to the sportsman show you can get everything you need for making antler lamps and chandelers and furniture, they have the drill set, apoxys and everything else you will need to get started..

That is a sweet looking Antler tree, very cool, very talented.  Good idea for the big pile of antlers in the corner that I don't know what to do with.   :tup:
