Carved Antler

Every year following the mating period male deers inevitably lose their antlers. The antlers are located on the grounds in the forests by fascinated carvers to sell antique and vintage carved antlers at auction. Deer antlers are composed of bones but not keratin, as per Suwannee River Ranch. Cutting a deer antler into a beautiful ornament is the same as sculpting procedures of any other kind of bone. Although, there are several variances in the carving procedure.

Every fall, the northern moose and caribou lose their antlers. The antlers provide a special and recyclable sculpting/carving substance for craftsmen. In contrast with rocks, carvers need to operate with the original form of the object which can’t take a structure of whatever the creator desires. Processes for making artworks using Caribou or moose antler include either a blade or grinding instrument and engraving using an ironing tool. The wide ends of the antler of moose can display complicated, lace-style designs through the skills of an expert craftsman.

Based on the aesthetic implications the creator wants, the antique and vintage carved antler for sale might feature a finely shined surface or a softer matte look. Carvers travel for the search for antlers that have been shed by cervids, commonly known as shed hunting. After every one of the antlers is shaped to their specified sizes and forms, it could be sanded off and prepared for another step. Then, the antler is cleaned with a polishing rag and painted a little with naturalistic pigment to allow the antler to smoothen any borders. It also helps to protect the antler.
