    Any of you guys ever make anything cool out of your antlers you collect, instead of letting them just pile up?

    I was extremely bored this weekend, and I was in the mood to make something. So, I took a little 6 pt set I had on a shelf and made some bookends. I made the wooden part and screwed them into some metal bookends that were laying around (so they would actually hold up the books and not fall over), and I attached the antlers with epoxy...how do they look?:deer:

    Cool! Looks good! I had a guy at Bass Pro the other day that made a key chain out of a little spike antler he shot. That was pretty cool.
