A Simple Antler Hiking Stick Topper

In this video, I'll show you how to make a simple antler hiking stick topper. A fun way to decorate your walking stick. I use a sambar antler and placed a 20 mm compass on the top of the hiking stick topper. You only need a few simple tools.
Most of the hiking stick components can be purchased from Treeline USA: treelineusa.com/walking-stick...

That vidio was just what I was looking for and its gave me a few Tips but not only that it showed a craftperson at his work.

Great work. That antler had a really pretty texture to it.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks, John! Yeah, I had to purchase this antler from a supplier, but it turned out looking nice.

I enjoyed watching this one, Stephen, especially since I have a few deer antlers lying around, and thanks for sharing the link to treelineusa. Keep on, keeping on!

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for watching! It was a fun project to make. I love the unique character of deer antler. Although it can be a challenge to work with sometimes.

Hard part is finding a good and that impacts the ground. I utilize a antique hole that the spade bit either broke off or wore off, it's been on my walking stick Shepherd's staff for almost 10 years and tell you the truth it doesn't look any different than when I first put it on except maybe a little smoother

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for the comment!

[@paullockyer7230]

Very nice work. If I could make one suggestion, using a slower setting epoxy would give you more working time and a stronger join.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for the suggestion! Good idea.

[@williamwolfe3277]

I can smell that sanded antler now!

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

LOL - I definitely recommend doing any antler sanding outside and preferably with some fans blowing.

[@Woodysback]

Not everyone has a drill press, do this with a cordless drill,and an orbital handheld sander.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Good point! It's very doable with a hand drill and orbital sander. Just try to get the hole as straight as possible. There again, it doesn't have to be perfect.

[@HonestDoubter]

How many people could SMELL that antler being sanded with that disc sander?

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

It wasn't too bad. I try to do my sanding outside, but yes, it's not a pleasant smell.
