That's really cool!  There is nice room for some incised lines and earth pigments to be rubbed in...nice primitive look, indeed.

My dog would love it!

Very Nice work. If you soak it in a strong tea it will antique it and make it look old...

Sorry it took me so long to post these. I have a Comanche friend who showed me this. It's pretty long, he says for leverage. He saw my boys playing w/ an old shovel handle and after they put it down he asked if I wanted to make a shaft straightener and proceeded to walk me through this one. Seems to work pretty darn good. So...here it is. dp

Both.  Check out the grain orientation too. He told me that it was important.  Start out small with the slots, you can always widen them but you can't make um smaller.  The perpendicular notch is made real well, the slant one is not as good.  The perp notch kinda looks like a Teeki God mouth. Keeps the shaft from rolling out when in use.  When you get it done, post a pic. START SMALL W/ THE SLOT.

Very nice, I have a couple ,just not on the same antler, I have one slotted and one with a angled hole,they work great. May try another with both,less to keep up with. ;) ;D ;D
