Cutting elk antler for knapping billet

<< < (4/4)

Zuma:
BTW those antlers would look great mounted
on a big slab of wood. Maybe a trade to me
for something like this.

Taxus brevifolia:
Art imitates life! Very nice.

I cut off the longer brow tine for a flaker, so far that's all I've done. I still might use the main branch for bow limbs

YosemiteBen:
Good Morning Tax! I would say, follow the natural curve above the base of the first tine around to the edge of the crown and make a "hammer" shaped billet.

caveman2533:
leave the bone on also

Taxus brevifolia:
Yes for the densest billet
