Walker570 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I did a fallow and put some small antler legs on to make a platter for finger food with drinks before a barbie or lunch party. I was in Slovenia and went to a friends restraunt for a meal and he had a huge moose antler set up the same way with a selection of pieces of smoked sausage from a red deer I had shot that morning. Will look forward to seeing your platter because I am sure it will be far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 AlI holes drilled with interconnecting holes inbetween the others , so can run wire led lights in the resin , did wire up , looked funky , but this is a test piece, got some older resin to be used up to test and see what happens & goes wrong !

boo Posted April 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Far as I can take the lamp for now , ordered shade & flex , made a copper boss , be pressed in flush & piece of old pipe , shade will determine height , hopefully turn out ok , just topped up resin in the antler looks ok but wrong colours , on going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted April 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Mixed feelings, resin to opaque & wrong colours , base wise not sure about, to be honest not sure about it full stop ! Will think about it , only a test piece so not concerned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Put it up for sale, somebody will love that. I do not know who that someone might be though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted April 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 🤣 long way off yet , may look for a drift wood type base , think reds & yellow with a green would work & a better pattern , got a few , so may have a play , ideally want to fit leds so be a funky lamp !

WalkedUp Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 You have to be prepared to have the odd failure if you innovate and try out new ideas. Not everything will work how you want but it is still worthwhile to do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
