We have deer visit our back yard and my husband offered to wrestle a few for me to painlessly harvest their antlers. Love this technique, Matt. My husband deserves an antler necklace gift after the thrill and excitement of manhandling the deer.
My grandma gave me this 70 year old ivory taken from an elephant in the northern part of my country I've been wondering what to make with it by melting it
Claws for a cause, ha ha ....not sure the lobster would be game for that......funny man! also, deer can be very dangerous as you can see from this vid.
Very cool! Deer antler jewelry! Don’t we have to sanitize the antlers for these? We have plenty of deer in my town that are running around in the park, but I’d rather order online than anything. Eagerly awaiting the link for the deer antlers. Thank you Matt!
You could definitely polish them in a tumbler or by hand with various sandpaper grit. They're pretty smooth as is, meaning they don't splinter like wood and they're softer than stone as long as you don't have any jagged edges.
Or if you’re feeling real lazy you could shoot them, which is what I have a son for 😜 TBH we get cast antlers, so just kidding on the shooting part. Definitely different to boar tusks 😏 they are hollow, and a bit rough at the top which possibly could be sanded down.... hhmmmm need to think what I could do 🤔
I love the wire wrapping tutorial but hate the way you chose to acquire your antlers. Antlers are great because they're shed naturally by the animal. There is no need to harm them. My boyfriend and I were excited to watch your tutorial until we realized that the animals had been badly and unnecessarily mistreated. Please consider waiting for the animal to shed them.
I don't know where you got your ideas from. These are all shed antlers or antlers fron deer who had already died from other causes. But now you've upset me so much that I'm going to go out in the woods and wrestle some deer to take my aggression out. See what you did! The deer will suffer!!!
Obviously from someone who has never left their little city apartment, tree hugging morons who don't have the faintest idea where the antlers come from all while eating a big Mac with hamburger from a cow that was hit between the eyes with a hammer
