These are nothing fancy, but they were fun to make. It started out with a 5 point that Dad gave me. I'm trying to use the whole antler and leave little to no waste.
Shaving brushes:
First I cut out some pieces for handles and glued some oak pieces on to them:
Next I sanded and shaped the antler tops and wood bases:
Taped off the antler so I could stain the wood:
Drilled them out:
Put a clear coat on them to protect from water:
Glued in the knots. The blonde ones are boar hair, the other two are badger:
