So I was talking to one of our site supervisors yesterday chasing some Stainless steel shim materials,
when he asked what it was for I said I was going to try making some bolshers,
he goes “what for your blades?”
Me “yeh gonna try it out”
then hes asks “would antler work for them & do you want some? I gots some bits at home I was gonna make a knife handle with”
well “hell yeh” was my response as I have been looking for a local source for some time also,
then he’s like “OK no probs I’ll bring some in tomorrow”

well today he showed up with this

a nice Red Deer 4 point antler that’s got to be good for half a dozen sets of scales I recon & possible brush bits also,
what an awesome score I was only expecting a piece big enough for 1 set. LOL
