The Essex Hunter Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I’ve had this pair of antlers a while from a Roe I shot some time ago, they were on my I must do something with these list…. My first attempt at making sticks, I turned shoulders on the sticks and bored the brass ferrules and blended them with a file to suit, I used a piece of 6mm stainless studding as the fixing peg with 2 part glue. A guy who I know had the poles in his garage, drying over the last 18 months and I scraped the bark off to make a straight grain to follow the lines of the antlers. Hard to show in the picture but it works quite well. They are xmas presents so not sure how to wrap them up!! TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopper Bopper Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 They look great. Nice workmanship. What wood have you used? I have used some silver birch, seasoned for at least 8 months for a beating stick. Dont know how well it will last. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB Thank you, I believe the dark one is briar, according to the chap I got them off, the second one was the mystery prize…… They both have brass bases I made, the dark one has the base off a spent .243 round let in to it.
