How to make rings from elk antler!

I absolutely love shed hunting but needed a use for the antlers. I researched ways to make money off of antler and it turns out you can either sell it or make your own crafts. I found that making antler rings can be a fun and profitable side business…once you figure out how to do it. In this video I show you how I make the rings!

Sorry, I love your video, where can I get those rings to make the bone inlay? I'm searching but I find rings with a filled center, please help me, greetings!

Go to Etsy and search Tungsten Ring Blank. I buy mine from shopdreamwood and have been very happy.

What is the best time of the year to look for antlers?

[@cabinfever01]

Early spring after the animals drop them and before the vegetation hides them.

Hi! What kind of glue did you use exactly?

[@cabinfever01]

You want to use a thin ca glue. Find a thin flex CA if you can and it’ll last for a long time.
