    Default Some wedge material

    The other day I was rooting around in my razor junk bin looking for some used wedges and was wondering what else I could perhaps use that was a bit less utilitarian than the plastics and bone that are kicking around in the bottom of the bin. Then I thought of one of the white tail deer racks that have been around for several years sunning themselves in the backyard. I thought, that antler material would make great wedges. So this morning I took my dremel outside and cut off some portions.
    Here they are.
    For others who I am sure have cut antler material up; be sure to wear your respirator, this stuff stinks to high heavens when you cut it.

    Pups, Great minds think alike.
    I'm thinking if there is enough width along the base I might try it.
    Time will tell.
    And, yes I will post pics.

    I see them at Pet co and while I'm standing in line I look for good scale material. Waiting for that perfect set. No need to saw curves, no twists, no bends. I am being picky because I need scale material like a nail through the back of my hand.
    Plan well it looks like you can pull it off. Hmmm seems like I heard it's harder than a white dog turd too.
