A very Grand FP Kyle, Really nice job. Toasted Elk, that's a new one on me. I hope the owner was able to fair better than his hat. I wonder if I throw some on the fire, I could obtain the same results? Very classy FP.
To answer Doug's question, the main thing that going through the fire did was to make the outside of the antler useless--it is very crumbly (and downright burnt in places). The interior doesn't seem to have been affected much. Perhaps a smidgen darker than it would have been otherwise. Another guy found the companion antler nearby, unburned. They were shedders. I didn't get the unburned one--or the elk.
