gmm243 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Afternoon, I was looking for a piece of antler to make a fishing priest and was put in the direction of Christian Sutton. He had a few pieces that fitted the bill and below is the finished article. Turned out pretty well but could have been a slight bit more lead in the head of it,I didn't have it perfectly straight in the vice and then didn't want to add more molten lead on top of the already set lead. It will give it some character!! Small brass bar fitted across go prevent the lead ever springing out. A coating of oil mixed with a little of our own beeswax (mostly to darken/bring out the grain) and I will be handing it to my fishing buddy tomorrow. Hopefully a present for life and he won't drop it over the side of the boat like the last one he bought. Ps.I know it could do with a little more filling and sanding on the top but I might get time to do that this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
