What Color Resin For Deer Antler

[crokett]

I'm thinking of taking the tips and other too small to use bits from antler and trying a cast in resin. Should I go clear with a painted tube? Or tint the resin? If so, what color? I was thinking white.

Have seen them for sale in blues and black. The contrast was attractive.

I made the first one in this post with black and Bronz mica pearl a little while back. I like the bronz with the antler. My picture isn't real well. http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/variety-styles-130773/

John, the black is very attractive. I think I am going to start there. Thanks! My list of castings to try is growing.... I might spend a chunk of Friday doing castings.

Lets just say to stay away from red, i was casting and had some antler pieces in a mold and pour the resin in when light dawned. It looked like a crime scene that one never got turned. I like bronze, black blue and dark green.
