Thanks Chad. I just asked for this not long ago and that is what I call quick response. Kind of knew but was unsure about the hole for the tang.

Thanks for the video. Impressive to hand drill the hole into such a skinny antler. Cheers

[@tinaharvey356]

I have drills and sanders and all the other equipment. Just want to do something with these

I,ve heard you could straighten antlers by boiling them in water. Have you ever done this or heard that?

[@oldsouthforge831]

I have done it a few times. Also I have soaked them in white vinegar. It’s hit or miss either way. Sometimes they will break while straightening them
