Restoring Giant Moose Sheds!

[@JGraye5]

Right on! That shed was definitely worth restoring.

[@wmuhunter]

What did you use the vegetable oil for?!

[@MegaPerson012345]

Right on. I have a really large shiras set I want to restore and mount to hang on my wall.

[@monikaorchard5401]

Hi , I'm thinking of painting a scene on my antler but I'm have to sand down the inner part of the surface of the curvature of the antler for nice surface to paint in oil & was wondering how or what to use to sand down to a fairly smooth surface & would i need to seal it after which is what I wold want to prevent discoloration from happening after painting what is your thought on the subject as I would like your input as I'm looking for some suggestions, and thanks for post your antler demo of restoration for the antler, would luv to hear your input .

[@Martin_Chag]

I think I cover all of that in this video!

[@cathymoen4293]

I noticed vegetable oil on the table. What is that for?

[@chicoestrada5183]

Nice Job, I restore elk antlers with Bri- Wax , less forgiving and wont soak into the antler as fast unless u melt it, it also gives a nice mat shine on them, also if you blow into you plastic or rubber gloves before you put them on it helps Great work!!

[@christophercarere5703]

Hey man, can you PM me more info on the Bri-Wax for staining the antler?

[@bradlaf8503]

Thanks for the help gonna restore some really helpful videos

[@joshpurdy1797]

Good video man. I like your pacing. If you run over the finished product with sandpaper or fine steel wool it will give it the highlights and it looks pretty sharp.

[@MegaPerson012345]

I found a set of shiras moose sheds that at the least have a 52 inch spread. They are probably wider than 52 inches, but I am being conservative. I would love to mount them and do a total restore. Any suggestion of how to restore broken points and get rid of green. Would really like to hang them on my wall with a nice mount kit.

Looks good! Just found my first moose paddle yesterday but it is a chalk and I was looking to color it. I will use your video but was wondering if you clear coat it with anything? And does wood stain work?

[@cindyrae2605]

What brand of wood filler and walnut stain did you use? Thanks.

[@Martin_Chag]

Can’t remember the brand but got it from home depot

[@cindyrae2605]

thank you @@Martin_Chag

[@michaelmccolgan3291]

I think it looks great very nice job

[@sothrnhunter746]

Looks good you should color an elk shed and video it!!?

[@jamn4God]

What kind of stain did you use? I've never seen stain come in a tube before.

[@chriskiball9768]

Did you ever get a answer on the brand of stain ? I havr same question

[@jamn4God]

@@chriskiball9768 nope.

[@Tricia-wi6tb]

Looks like Minwax Express Color Wiping Stain and Finish

[@Hunt4fun96]

I think that's a whole lot better than a chalk, I'm going to try this

[@confucius2616]

Put a coat of mop and glow on after you’re done. Puts a little shine to it but makes it easier to dust off

[@MrRoush360]

Did you happen to mount the antler? I have one and I would like to mount it to a nice board.

[@Martin_Chag]

No I didn't mount it, I have it out for decoration on a table at my house

[@MrRoush360]

@@Martin_Chag got ya. I've been talking to some guys around here in Anchorage. Think I have a game plan with some screws, careful drilling and a little epoxy

[@ukantlers2474]

I had a white red stag antler I had the match to so I needed to stain the white side to match the fresh brown side, I used a base coat of potassium permangonate, then sanded down the tips to make them ivory like, then i rubbed in mud onto the tops where the antler is darker around the crown, finally where the match side was pretty dark i crushed some coal and mixed with water an drubbed that on, the finished product is absolutely incredible. Only bad thing is its slightly darker than the match so it may need a water down or I might stain the fresh one a bit as its lost a bit of colour..

[@johnw.ambrose]

Good to know. Father passed away and had to move my 6x from inside his big barn to outside of my shed in our wonderful az sun! This sounds idiot proof so it's perfect for me. Should help them keep their color for a few years at least.

[@robkreis3576]

I know this is an older video but I thought I'd add my two cents. I have restored some sheds and dead heads the same way. After you're all done with the staining try taking some steel wool to the antler. you can take off as much or as little as you like. in the end it made them look more realistic, like they were naturally rubbed.

[@Martin_Chag]

RD Kreis yeah that's what I did with mine, helps a lot!

[@bertmaster2000]

Nice work! Once you had the materials gathered, about how much total time did you spend from start to finish?

[@chicoestrada5183]

Not long really, wax , brass small brush, 1000 sand paper for high lights, brass brush for crevices, cotton rag to rub to shine. Super easy

[@chicoestrada5183]

It depends on how big the antlers

[@lfabich]

Nice Job
