Default RE: repairing broken antler tines

I have repaired them with a compound that is called ( rockhard putty) you can get it at any paint store. you mix it and it hardens in just a few min. then the next day you can sand , scrap or grind it to the way you want it.
first thing I do on one with a missing tine.I drill a hole down through the middle for an inch or two. put a wooden dowel,or stick in the hole with a couple inches sticking out.you can glue it in the hole. then mix and put the putty onto the dowel and work it till you get what you want.when finished, you will need to stain it to match the others color.

good luck.
