A tip I found out to help with the ivory tips on elk, is put a coat on and then wipe the tips where you want the ivory look after each coat. It avoids the need to sand the tips. I've noticed when I sand the tips too much of the base stands out. Makes it almost too white. Once you put the first coat of stain on and wipe it, the paint will have an ivory look to it. Then for the bumps on the beams, I sand them down to the white paint before I put the final coat of stain. That will leave the bumps lighter, but not bright white.
Just found your channel. Great content! My 12 year old son is watching with me, and in voice-over portions, he said "that guy sounds like Bob Ross!" I told him "I guess he's the Bob Ross of antlets!" Anyway, thanks for sharing, and God Bless.
Keep washing those skulls and I'll keep watching man. Love the videos
+Drew DaGamer Thank you.
Never a boring video. I love it! Out here in Az we have lots of antler (horn hunters) collectors that sell them for dog food or bones. Elk antlers sell for alot at Pets Mart.
Enjoy watching your videos. Very informative and detailed. Keep 'em coming!
I’ve watched this video about 5 times. I’m going to try and do this to some of my sheds. Again, thank you for sharing
Great video. I have a 167" Mulie that spent a couple of years out in the sage. No chews, just really weathered. Will try the wood putty and stain technique. Thanks!
I think you did a fabulous job on those from where they were. You have a real talent, love your videos and I reference back to them frequently. I'm in the middle of completing another Euro mount, and starting on my first crown mount.
Fantastic instruction! I'd been itching to see a new video from you.
Great instructional video and information as well. Now I have something else to add to my to do list, thanks.
has anyone ever told you you're an artist?? because you are, what you do is beautiful in its' own way
TY for the video. Currently restoring the chocolate color on some WT sheds to build chandeliers & a lamp set. Very helpful.
Another great/ informative video. Thanks.
I loved this video. I have an elk skull from my first bull that could really use this treatment. I am inspired to give it a try. I used your Euro-skull mount videos as an educational series for mounting a huge lion killed blacktail I found. Thanks for your outstanding videos.
+mrsockeye awesome thank you brother.
Trial and error, brother. You do what you do perfectly and I'd purchase one any day. I really love your videos you're a great role model for many and I hope your channel and career stretches far for the years to come. Don't stop what you do best :)
+XxStrike2000xX Thank you so much for that. Thanks for watching and the support.
Great job like always brother! You never disappoint THANK YOU for doing you and continuously helping and shearing hope all is well keep them coming!👍
+Jonathan baker Thank you for that. Comments like this keep them coming.
Nice job Ryan....thanks for another great video!
+Marc Hopkins Thank you Mark.
have an old rack 80+ years old, was nervous about giving this a try, but I think I will give this a go after a few shed practice rounds...thanks
Dang, great job restoring those antlers! couldn't tell the difference!
+Jinxx _626 Thank you.
I found a wood marker is great for touch ups as well. Especially if you want the base a little darker, or maybe during the whitening process you've whitened the antlers a little bit. Use the marker, and water to thin it out if you need to.
Nice vid, very informative. Thanks.
Good Job!! Looks awesome
Looks great to me. Thanks for the information.
That looks great!! Good job 👍
Great video and you did an excellent job on the antlers. The sealing of the old chalky antlers with wood putty is exceptionally valuable. Try potassium permanganate some time, in lieu of wood stain.
+Andrew Parker Thank you got that. Will do.
I was very excited for a new video. Its been a little while so I watched the gater skules for the twentieth time last night. Love your videos and this was anothetr great one. I thought they turned out great.
+Jennifer Harton Thank you so much. Hope your well.
Thanks for taking your time to make the video .
Excellent video man!!!
Once again great looking work!
+Todd Waters Thank you Todd.
You could get some oil based paints. I got mine from hobby lobby. Colors I have are Payne’s grey, raw umber, burnt umber, raw senia. Use Payne’s grey as your base color on horns and the the browns to darken them up. After done you can rub some of it off with terry cloth to blend more. Use lacquer thinner to thin paint down when putting it on the horns. Once you get the desired color you can clear coat with a matte clear to seal it. Can have one done from start to finish in about 2 hours
This will come in handy with repairing my Jeeps hood ornament. I just wish I could find the Iron Buck mounts in bare steel so I could make a new one for my truck.
Man you do a great job
Awesome work, i don't know what your talking about bro I'd hang that up in my house any day of the week !
Thanks brother hope your well.
Haha I love the wood plank idea!
+Chris Thompson Thank you.
Great video man live watching your channel always a great help I've been doing skulls mostly hogs like crazy just know you have fans down here in #Southtexas
+Adrian Flores Thank you Adrian
Dude, love the vids, amazing!
+Amanda Green thank you so much.
thays a great tip with the windex, not manny people know that tip. great video as always 👍 keep up the good work
+dustin schaefer Thank you Dustin.
I just use water in a spray bottle or if a spray bottle isn't accessible a cup with water and just dip your fingers in.
Just started to watch your vids cuz i got interested into the preperation of bones. I love the beauty of whiteness and the structures on skulls they are just so astonishing. Thanks for all the videos. Also I like your attitude towards what u do. One could really tell you have found your profession and maybe I´ll end up the same way as u ended up - as an artist. Hopefully at least.
Keep it up dude and greetings from Germany
+Philipp Sandfort Thank you so much for the comment. Much appreciated.
Exactly what paint do you use? The latex paint I got is like oil to the water, won’t mix
Great work as usual!
+Jayson Concepcion Thank you.
I have used an acrylic paint - Burnt Umber and it is easy and an exact match to elk antler color
Another awesome instructional!
+Thomas Ceruzzi Thank you
Nice brother
I been doing this particular work for a long time lotta trial n error myself
Awesome
+Jason Nester Thank you.
Great video thanks!!
Very informative thank you
Awesome video thank you once again. Question ...did you encounter any brush marks when you applied the latex water mixture? And did you sand them out just lightly before staining?
its about time you posted a video
Excellent video. I'm trying this out on a set of antlers I have from a muley I shot in velvet 2 years ago. the antlers are very porous toward the tips due to still being in velvet when I took it. I didnt know how to preserve the velvet and when I fount out, it was too late, so I stripped them.
When you stain them, do you add a heavy layer and than wipe it off? when I try to wipe off excess, its taking to much off due to the paint underneath. Also do you clear coat yours when finished?
Great video
Excellent!
Looks awesome man! Can't wait to try this!!!
+Randy Zuckerman Good luck brother. Africa soon right?
WHITEBONE CREATIONS HUNTING I had to push the Africa trip back man. Long story!
Great tips! I have tried (unsuccessfully) to revive some old antlers. I actually have a set of mule deer antlers in my shop that a co-worker asked me to "do my best" so I will try this method on them. One question, it looks like you used more of the wire brush than the steel wool around the bases with the uneven "pearling" (just what we always called it). Is that the case? I had to touch up a euro where the bleach leaked through to that area and had a devil of a time knocking the "glossy" finish off that area after I touched it up. Thanks! Love the videos!
I kinda like the look of the high gloss antlers right after staining. Obviously not a "natural" look, but I think it looks different in a good way. Amazing video as always.
+Extra-Ordinary Gary Me three. Kinda strange. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! I know you said you didn’t do a good job on them for your liking, but they look great! I’d put them on my wall! Btw, these videos are super helpful for someone trying to get started doing euros and other projects! Also, there are many other videos on the web trying to do what you did here, and they’re not near the quality you made!
Andrew Stark awesome! Thank you!
Very nice!!! Thx
Great job.
Hey man, I use minwax Honey Satin. It is the exact color of antlers. Try it, you'll be amazed. And when you do let me know how you like it.
Nice! I have quite a few of these I could do.... Thanks!
+Brett Vaughn Good luck.
love the work keep it up
+Viper Man Thank you will do.
Another great taxidermy tip video Ryan. cheers
+Murton Outdoors Thank you.
What kind of concrete do you use for your crown dust? I'm guessing you can get the plaster of paris from any hobby store? AWESOME video! Thanks again for your help!
Darin
I know I'm coming in late on this, but will doing this to a chalky antler set increase or decrease value of the set?
Awesome video. Those look amazing, I wouldn't be ashamed to hang those on my wall.
+Texas BowHunter Thank you Brother.
I think they came out beautiful
JANET VELEZ Thank you.
Great video. You might try your hand at using lacquer thinner and acrylic paints. Use a pains grey diluted down to make a wash with the lacquer thinner let it dry and take steel wool to it and knock of the runs and dark spots. Then go back with a wash if raw umber or burnt umber and let it dry and take steel wool to it also blend it real good and then you can seal it with matte finish clear coat. Turned out well for me.
+Logancrossno Awesome awesome info thank you.
Your welcome.
I found my buck I shot last season and the antlers are super faded and have a chalky white powered all over it, deciding if I should try this or leave it as is 🤔
Did you also put mopglow on these dead heads like your other videos ?? Or does the wood stain have a natural shine ?
Hey man first off love all your videos. Do you think that would work on a moose rack
Can you do a vid on repairing a broken crown mount? Wondering if there’s an easy solution to my problem. The crown broke in half when I moved.
Could you clarify if you apply the stain and then wipe it off before applying the next coat. I didn't hear you say that either way in the video. I'm redoing some really old elk antlers and want to get it right. I restored some moose antlers and replaced one of the tangs with Apoxie Sculpt which I didn't put a base coat of paint on first and of course the stain reacted differently to it than the antler. No one can really tell accept me, but I'd rather do better on the elk antlers. Thanks for your advice.
Great video! I repaired a 480 class elk using a similar method. Its now hanging in the elks club here in Hawaii. Have you ever repaired chewed off tips?
+Kawika Delos Reyes awesome. Yes I use a piece of wire and fix all sculpt. And the same coloring process.
You should try and use wet coffee grounds. They work really well.
+Hun10 fool Will do
Looks great to me
Could i send you some to do for me? It looks great!
Hey I have some moose antlers that were stained too dark with minwax. Would you recommend applying a new base of latex white and then using this technique to make it more natural? Would really appreciate your input.
Great video! Have you replaced missing points?
try lacquer thinner and burnt umber oil base tube paint ,make your base just a little gray you can add orange to bases like tree rubbing ,its quick dries fast and gives you pretty natural look ,
+kdj beenken awesome tip thank you brother.
WhiteboneCreations... Great job! I have a Brownie Elk Deadhead that I'm looking to Tweak a bit... Have you colored Elk horns and have you tried Potassium Permangonate as well? Love your vids man... Thks
+George Joseph Thank you George. I have trying about everything when it comes to horn color and I always wind up back at wood stain for whatever reason.
I’m having trouble with my plaster and concrete mixture. It cracks and breaks away when it drys. What am I doing wrong?
so i have a deer skull im thinking of restoring and one of the tips has been chewed on by a dog im assuming how would you go about fixing that? would really appreciate the advice love the channel. keep up the good work.
I would like to know of any way of fixing a chewed off tip as well
I don't know what you mean about the plank. i thought it looked pretty cool. I was thinking about how to cut some myself when you mentioned that you bought them at the grocery store. Cool video. Thanks Ryan.
+Danger Berne Thank you. That panel is just a little thin. Otherwise it just fine. Thanks for watching.
Does the stain eventually cure and resist the touch? I'm tempted to spray flat or satin polyurethane after about a week long cure to try to lock in the color but I'd hate to have it react/run and ruin it . Thoughts?
+barnyardkh4 If there is / was oil or grease on the antler from the boil the stain will not cure it will just get tacky. I would blot it with a paper towel wash it and reapply.
I’m restoring an old whitetail found dead. The section of horn against the ground, a small area of 6”, retained its natural color but took on some “black” I assume from the minerals in the earth. The rest of the horns are white. What is your suggestion to clean up the dark section of the horns?
Fixing up a set of antlersfor a gentleman who I did some hardwood floors for. He's in his eighties and shot the deer years ago in a trophy unit just never had the time or money to do it thought I would help him out. Thank you for the tips! Yours are the best as always!
👊 your the man. How r the pots comming
Is there a flat clear you can seal it after with
Hey there, I love your videos they are the best!!!
Question for you, do you have a good way to store the solution that you boil heads in?
I only do a few each fall and end up buying 40 volume each time? Wasn’t sure if it stays good if properly stored?? Thank you!!
I boil my heads in water degrease them then bleach them
I attempted to boil a skull last year over the same wood fire I was boiling down maple syrup, big mistake! I charred the antlers, any tips on fixing that? Should I sand them down first and do this or..... what?
Hey I was just curious as you know I watched a lot of your videos and took a lot of things from them what is your home state just curious thanks
I have a set of horns that fell off the wall and the skull cracked in the middle how do i fix that??
do a moose skull! that'll look sweet!
What kind of saw blade do you use?
I tried to stain some antlers from a dead head that I found and they came out way to dark. Anybody have any tips on how to remove the stain and start over, or lighten them up?
Would painting the antlers white and starting over work?
you the Man
+Sam Bowman Thank you.
Do you use a clear satin to seal the stain? Do you have an email or something where I can contact you. Thanks love the vids
Hey man, I've seen a guy using Rust-Oleum textured spray paint on an elk and it looked AMAZING!! I'm going to try it but guessing you'll have more chances than I will to experiment so I thought I'd throw the idea your way. Keep having a blast dude! God bless!
Always love the info. Thank you.
Ryan, quick question if I repair a horn or build a broken horn with fix it sculp or apoxie sculp will it stain like the rest of the horn or is there something I need to do to it first. Thanks
It will take color differently is it chalk or brown.
WHITEBONE CREATIONS HUNTING the horn is brown
I did not no if I needed to use wood putty over the whole set of horns or if it would take stain . Horns in good shape except for broken horn and one side has been chewed on.
How can I get in touch with you to get some deer antlers restored?
What is in all the jars on your shelves ?
YOU DONT GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH CREDIT BUDDY,THOSE LOOK GREAT.WHEN I STAIN MY ANTLERS I LEAVE SKULL ON THEM.SO I TAPE OFF SKULL AND UNDER BASE OF ANTLERS.IF YOUR GOING TO MOUNT IT LIKE YOU DO,YOU DONT NEED TAPE IT.INSTEAD OF TURNING UPSIDE DOWN,PLACE SKULL UPRIGHT AND BRUSH DOWN ANTLERS.DONT START AT TIPS,START BELOW TIPS AT DESIRED WHITE TIP LENGTH.I DO MY TIPS AT LEAST 1/2 INCH.I SHOULD DO A VIDEO TO SHOW YOU MINE.IVE ALSO DID ELK ANTLERS,IN EBONY BLACK AND THEY TURNED OUT GREY,I ENDED UP LIKING THEM QUITE WELL.
