My first try at antler yesterday. Used my square carbide for roughing and 1/2" skew for finish work.
Let me know your thoughts, always open to comments and critiques.
Hope everyone had a great turkey day!

Those look excellent. I have never turned antler, but I do appreciate the appeal for these.

Well done, thanks for sharing.

Looks good. Only suggestion is to turn the lever and clip around so it looks like this.

Is there a way to turn it around after they are assembled? I was looking at the instructions and it looks like I have to take it apart to do that.

Unscrew the nib and push the lever toward the front. You should be able to reach the screw with a long small phillips screw driver. You do not need to unscrew the screw, just loosen it until you can twist the lever around the opposite direction.

I did a bolt action once and noticed that the bolt interfered with the clip. Recently, discovered there are two notches for the clip! This was a Woodcraft kit.
