gamekeeper1960 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hi All have been working on this hares head stick topper..but I have a question for anyone else who's into stick making... I've been asked to have a go at a red deer stags head ..my question is what to use as the antlers...I'm not majorly worried on the head and if I was asked to do a hind ...would be so much easier... Any help would be appreciated.. Cheers David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holloway Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I think getting a hares head to work as a stick handle and look good is not easy ,you are doing a brilliant job so far ,as to a red deer stags head ! Good luck with that I have no idea how you would go about it but I would love to see the finished article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R. Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) I like thew way you have kept the hare's ears back and practically flat - makes the stick handle very coomfortable for the user. I'd imagine the problem with putting antlers on a head is the fact that it could make the stick very uncomfortable to use. You may have to copy your hare design and incorporate the anthers into the stick...something like this - or this Edited October 26, 2021 by J.R.
