Title: Antler Engraving
Post by: JH on March 25, 2014, 08:54:22 AM: I want to get an antler engraved with a couple names and date for my wedding. I though I would reach out here and see if anyone done this or know someone who does?

What is the best way to do it, engraving right into the bone or plain a section out and then have it burned in? I will be doing this on a large elk shed.

Let me know what you guys thing, thanks!

No matter what its gonna stink like singed hair. You need a bench vise as well to work most effectively and I dont have one now that I graduated.

there is this guy on facebook who does some interesting stuff not sure if you have access but https://www.facebook.com/nolimit.naturalarts (https://www.facebook.com/nolimit.naturalarts)

he is in Oregon so not too far away but no idea if he does private commission type work. I can dig up an email and phone number as well if you want it.

Here are few I have had done.
