Those tips look really nice.  Here's one I did on a flatbow last summer.

Lovely idea. I had the same idea myself and have some Sika deer antler in the cellar.

What deer did you use and why soak it?

duffontap:
I used Elk and worked it dry.

I saw these horns on saturday and they really do look very nice.

Chris, Jeremy was saying that he had to soak them for two weeks because the antler is so hard and that soaking it softens it enough to work on.

ChrisD:
Well, I had a bit of a play this weekend with sika deer antler. Its very very hard - more like bone than horn, in fact a lot like a flake of some kind of stone.

I'll put it in a bucket tonight and forget about it for a bit.
