What creative uses have you done with your antlers?
"Pops423" gave me an idea for this thread...
I've seen knife handles using an antler.
Gun rack's, etc.
~ I've thought of making a set of chop sticks out of a 7" spike I shot a few years back (too busy to do it).
What have you done "out of the ordinary" with your antlers, beyond mounts and skull caps?
Post some pics I'd love too see them!

Cool, I'm an inspiration to others.
So far I've not done anything other than standard mounts. I did have a cool plaque of PA done for my 8pt a few years ago.

I don't have pic's on my work computer but I havea Fallow shed that I carved my last initial in the web and made a candle holder for the wife. Mainly we just use them as decor around the house...

I don't know how creative this is, but this is what I do with my antlers that aren't getting mounted.This way, when I look at a specific rack (I use that word loosly) I can recall that particular hunt vividly.

I can't find the camera (my daughter's wedding shower was this past weekend) so I'll post a pic later. I took an antler and made a washer that's about a quarter inch thick and I used it on my stabilizer. I put a Doinker at the end of a homemade extension that I machined from aluminum and carbon arrows. The washer is between the doinker and the extension.

A few years ago my dad and I were moose hunting and this is the last thing i saw before my dad shot this bull. 3 bulls walking into a meadow I actually watched the whole thing from up in a tree. The taxi. carved the scene into the palms
