A bit of antler carving.

[fishfish]

got bored the other evening and thought ide have a go at antler carving,first off i cut off a crown from a red deer antler sourced from Exmoor last year,then after drawing out the design i drilled a couple of holes where needed and then set to it cutting by hand with a 2 inch piece of ultra fine fretsaw blade stuck in a piece of dowel for a handle,8 hours of cutting later i had this which will be a pendant i recon.

thanks for looking.

That's quality, would be good as a pommel with some kind of infill...

That would look great as a but cap for a nice pukko. Even better would be to fill it with a glow in the dark power and glue first

Aye, was thinking maybe a pewter infill if the antler could stand the heat.
