Uses for shed antlers??

I'm thinking about making a table with some mule deer sheds that my dad and I found the past couple years. I've got tons of whitetail and mule deer sheds and I'd rather do something creative with them than have them sit in the garage and collect dust! Anyone have any cool ideas?

 

I like to put them on the bottom of the coffe table in a pile they look cool to me.

 

Pile them everywhere all over the house. I like to keep them the way that I found them.

 

I just throw mine on the mantle

 

I could use a pair of rattling horns.

I've looked, but have never found a shed.

 

My mantle isn't big enough for all the sheds I have! Haha! The biggest ones are out on display, but I need to do something with the others!

 

I made a lamp. I also hate them just sitting around

I make all kinds of stuff, hat racks, key chains, knife handles, buttons, the list goes on

 

Did you attach the antlers with screws? any advice on a putty to fill screw holes?

 

No screws. I drilled a hole halfway through the antlers where the touch and put a nail without the head in and used hot glue. It has 2 contact spots and I did this for each spot.

That's very impressive! I never would have thought of thst

 

I don't know but I need to find something to do with mine...I have two big plastic totes full of the stupid things and every time I find another one I can't resist carrying the damn thing to the house. I would be in great shape if I was a mouse, NOM NOM NOM!

 

Thanks! I get creative after a couple beers! Lol

Now I wish I wouldn't have started already so I could do this! Very smart! I've been able to keep my screw holes on the bottom of the antlers so they're less visible and I picked up some putty from the hardware store that says it dries a cream/white color which sounds like it might be good enough. Thanks for this awesome tip, though!

 

No problem! Make sure you post a picture of the finished product

If your not attached you could probably sell them easily. Heck I would probably be one of your buyers, we are in the process of decorating above the kitchen cabinets with them.

 

Looking for whitetail or mule deer?

 

I bought the screws to attach them to the wall of my man cave at the new house to hang hats from.
