Old Boggy Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I am looking to those out there who have far more imagination than myself for some idea what to make with the attached piece of antler which my neighbour has `lent` to me. I say lent, as he wished me to have it, but it was made by his father, so I said that I would try to think of something to make it into and return it as no doubt it must have a certain amount of sentimental value. The obvious thing would be a priest, but he is neither a shooter nor a fisherman, so that idea is unfortunately out. I know that there are many out there who make amazing things, so any ideas would be most gratefully received. The antler piece is about 6 inches long (and no it cannot take a battery and vibrating motor ) and pretty heavy as I believe that the metal is inset quite a way into the antler. Many thanks for any `suitable` suggestions. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
