Help!
I am having a devil of a time cutting AND sanding the ends of the antler straight after the tube is in and the glue is set.
Unlike a square blank which I can lay flat on my bandsaw and then use my guide to guarantee a straight cut. The antler doesn't lay square on the bandsaw table to the blade, so I never get a cut which squarely meets the end of the tube.
I always either take off some of the tube or I leave too much of the antler sticking out past the tube. Then I end up sanding, and sometimes (usually) I end up sanding away too much of everything, plus it is never straight - another tube and another antler piece goes into the trash.
It's probably a simple fix, I just don't know what the heck it is?????
Help me!
