Thread: Bullwinkle

Something a little different this time.
This is the base of a small moose shed I found up in Alaska. this shed was laying in the moss and was likely a year old when I found it. The tines had been chewed down to nubs by porcupine and other rodents and had some moss growing on it which gave some green patina to the antler.


The bases are very dense and are rock solid, towards the center there is a small porous section which I stayed away from.






Machines and turns very nicely.








Over the years I have made a bunch of knife handles and pistol grips from this material. It is very dense with a warm feel like ivory. Something unique for sure.
