Ok.I'm trying my best not to fill it with lead.Any ideas?Small stones?Sand?Would they work.

Anything you can find on a farm (hopefully we'll have some) or around one,I'm surrounded by rivers,forests and countryside so I should be able to find something :good:

But what do you suggest to fill it with?I don't particularly want to go out and buy something.

Not sure how old you are, you have not mentioned in your profile, but you can get an adult to help.

Drill out antler,

heat lead in old pan -not one you will use for anything else

put antler in a vice and poor in lead, wear protective gloves

 

Most will have learnt this from making fishing weights as kids, hope this helps

I've made ethse and found that a 3 ounce lead sea weight can be trimmed to fitt the hole drilled in the antler and tapped into place with a hammer. If you want to cap it you can get pieces of black buffalo horn on Ebay,which you can cut to shape. Glue on with araldite epoxy glue, and polish up with fine sandpaper and 000 gauge wire wool.

I know that you don't bash bibles but don't bash bishops either!
