Ed Twilbeck Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Slow ,but I am looking , for what I can find. Have some ideas. One question. Is the body of Antler solid or , are they hollow? Ready to cut a section, and keeping the end to make a small pendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew V Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 hollow, well, filled with a useless pith you will need to remove, suggest you soften it with warm water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I believe that the tips might be solid for a way towards the main stalk. The thickest part should have marrow-like pith matrix. If it is not in objectionable condition, such material is sometimes incorporated into the concept that one is carving. It takes some fore-thought.
