    Very nice. I have a set of reindeer antlers that I have been going to do that with for about 10 years now. Maybe you have just inspired me to get it done!

    Wow what a great idea! Wish I could do the same but never find enough sheds or big enough at that.

    Very cool! Only thing I've done is a couple knobs and a door handle for my gun cabinet.

    Well not to out do any of you but I have used a few sheds and made a few pretty dang good chew toys for my Vizsla. She loved them!

    While the table is cool I just don't know if I could keep my dog from eating it. LOL

    Glad everyone likes the table. Thanks for all the compliments! I hope I inspired you all to get out and make use of those sheds laying in a pile in the garage (at least thats where mine lay :/ )

    Very well done! How do you get the glass to stay in place? Screws?

    I just got some of those little rubber bumper pads and put them on the tips of the antlers.

    Just a question. How did you get the antlers to stay together? Hot glue or something?

    I used screws and an epoxy glue. I was able to hide most of the screws on the bottom of the antlers so they can't be seen. I did have one screw that can be seen, but I filled it with a filler and tried my best to blend it to the white/creamy color of the antler.
