Normally I keep the antlers on the skull and paint them up with adesign. If I had enough antler sheds I would try and make a lamp or something maybe. One thing I did years ago with small antlers was useing my dremel tool and various ends to give them a spiral look on the tines. Another thing which is neat and also pretty is to take the base of the antler and cut the ridged big part off even ( if it's thick enough make two) on both ends, sand them down real nice and smooth. After that you could choose a picture and engrave it on the surface.I used a black paint to fill in the picture outline and then coated it with clear fingernail polish. You can make buttons out of them too. Hope thats some help! Have fun
