Hi there, I have two unbranched deer antlers. They're from a young deer so they're basically long, slightly curvy spikes rather than big branchy antlers. My grandmother lives nextdoor to a deer paddock so my brothers picked some up one day.
Would ideally like some honing leather and/or some green birch wood but I'm open to offers. I will post pics of the antlers soon (they're in the attic) but last time I checked they're about a foot long.
EDIT: Here is a picture with a 30cm ruler for scale.

EDIT 2: Also, the bottom one is curvier than it looks in the pic due to perspective. Also, they seem to have shallow surface marks near the points, nothing deep though.


EDIT 3: SWAPPED
Thanks,
Mike

How thick? I can collect too if this is a runner.

Quite an extreme taper on them but I'll upload a pic in my first post in a sec.
Base is about 3cm in diameter, point is about 2mm at thinnest.

I can give you green birch for them, what dimensions do you want? I can get any size within reason.
