Thanks for the video. I had plenty of antler from friends but put it aside because I always messed up the drilling. After watching the video I went in the shop and made two pens. I also watched your CA video and the finish came out excellant. Keep up the good work, you're helping me become a better turner. I subscribed.

You might not be aorund but does drilling old antler tips like this smell? I have a crafting area in my apartment but don’t want to drill antler tips in case it smells

[@marceaton3128]

I do pretty much the same sanding but I drill the blank using my four jawl chuck in my lathe to bore the hole out.

[@diymanable]

Just curious to know why you don't just boil the Angela in hot water then. Just straighten the antler when it is soft ?

[@erindiskin5496]

You must not know much about bones do you? Antlers aren't like rawhide they don't just bend.

[@soloist2012james]

​@@erindiskin5496 lmao! You the one that don't know 😂😂😂 For one an antler isn't bone. At all. If you'd paid attention to what he was saying "it's a hair, a big hair" same make up as fingernails as well. There's more than one vid on KZbin demonstrating the use of boiling in water to straighten.

You sound like john goodman

[@peterfabricius662]

Once you cut off the two ends, just mount the piece between centres and turn round. Set your centres so you can see that you have enough material to drill a good hole. If you set it so there will be a little raw antler showing from the low side, then that will give character on the final pen turning....After turning it round, put it in the pin / spigot jaws and drill on the lathe.

Dear sir , can you tell me what kind of saw bled you used to cutting your deer antler horn.

[@GabbyBillNumberOne]

Sorry Deer antler isn't modified hair, it is modified BONE, cow horn is modified HAIR !Gabby

[@jonathonragsdale6752]

you sound just like john goodman. anyways thanks for the tips :)

[@kalebcooper8496]

why not just use a vice and a cordless drill.

[@0351nick-ch8ee]

Or you could just boil it in water for 20 minutes and then put it in a vise to straighten it as you want.

[@jehovahuponyou]

DOES THIS HURT THE DEER?

[@houstontx2436]

these are sheds, so no it doesn't hurt the deer.

[@jason4547]

Lol @ "it's a hair"... i didn't realize hair was made of bone.... haha

[@jessicavandeusen7013]

[@TonyGilbert1]

I found one of these years ago in a feild guess a hunter dropped it
