Post by: Arteman on January 17, 2012, 11:52:17 PM: 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.

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.

Post by: BLUEBULLS on January 18, 2012, 06:18:47 AM: 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.

Post by: danderson on January 18, 2012, 06:27:09 AM: 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.

Post by: coop2424 on January 18, 2012, 09:38:52 AM: 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.

Post by: Maverick on January 18, 2012, 09:42:57 AM: 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.

Post by: TheChad23 on January 19, 2012, 02:31:37 PM: 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.

I am getting ready to make a antler tree and the top will have a european mount
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:
Title: Re: cool shed ideas ?
Post by: huntnnw on January 26, 2012, 03:55:18 AM: THX...Dunno if it will be topped with the european mount now... Tree needs more height, looks top heavy with it on there
