I use boiled linseed oil first then touch up with Minwax Privincial wood stain. I have added a touch of red stain to get the cherry horns some folks like. I always mix and experiment on scrap pieces of antler prior to putting anything on a set I'm working on for someone.
Great video and impressive results restoring a chalk antler. But you are obviously a bachelor; if I sprayed poly over my floor like you did my wife would stab me in the ass with those antlers!
I have a big Montana 4x4 mule buck I had a buddy clean the head an it fell over in the pot an burnt two points off an I have the points what should I do
