gamekeeper1960 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 The other day I asked if anyone had any ideas about making a set of antlers for a stags head stick handle ..I have playing around this morning with some black buffalo horn and have managed to come up with this ..so all I've got to do now is come up with a mirror image and it will be getting there....

It might not work on a stick but if that's what the punter wants it probably couldn't be done better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Just tell them it was casting As always a nice neat job and for a fancy day stick posing round a game fair, brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Once you have made the other one, make a mould with them, then, at least if his friends ask for one, you can cast it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 When I saw the last photo, it made me laugh. No idea why, but I was just taken aback. Stunning. It gives me a sense of perspective and grounded. If I ever get cocky and think I have done a top job, I will look again at the photo and know my place. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
