Default RE: Question about antler Repair !!!

My father mounts alot of deer horns. If a customer wants it fixed he will find a tine that matches the spot. He cuts each to fit the other. At this point he will drill out the tine and the spot where the tine goes and will epoxy them together with a rod that goes through the center of both. Grind and sand down the edges so they match and keep the dust that comes from the leveling of the two pieces. Mix the dust with some glue and cover the line that is left between the two pieces. When this dries if done right you will never be able to tell the difference. If you really want to have some fun you can take several racks and mix and match to make a glorious monstrosity. It is great for conversation.
