Thought I would solicit for tips and suggestions on finishing deer antler. Ive had mixed results on previous pens. Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum. Presently Im turning an Over Under PSI bullet kit. The body will be deer antler and the cap will be redwood lace.
Once finished turning the antler will be through the bark and hard outer part. The finished blank looks to be only the soft porous portion of the antler. Will be applying a CA finish when ready. The last one I completed seemed to turned color before I applied the CA. Presumably from the heat of sanding.
Once completing turning what are your methods in preparing an antler blank for a CA finish? Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated.
