Going to make my first brush handle out of deer antler. Will spar urethane work to seal and water proof it or are there other options? I do not have a vacuum chamber so stabilizing it is not an option right now.

For Deer they are pretty waterproof EXCEPT on the ends..
The Top end should be Sealed with the Epoxy you are going to use for the knot
The Bottom end you can simply use Epoxy again, I like to glue on a Butt piece myself, On antler I often use a Polished piece of Leg Bone

I made this one for Myself in 2021 with zero issues so far
I have done elk antler and used super glue on the bottom maybe 2 or 3 coats.
Thank you for the information
