Red Deer

Red Deer

Jan 18

Here’s a set of antlers that came in for restoration recently.

These are quite fragile. Both had tines broken and one of the antlers had a nasty compound break at the beam and was missing a lot of the original antler.

Here are some pictures of the antlers and the red deer before the restoration work began:

 

Here is a picture of the antlers fully restored and ready to be sent back to their owner.

Both had to be a mirror image of each other which added a level of difficulty I hadn’t anticipated.

Here are some pictures the owner graciously sent of the red deer with the fully restored antlers installed.

These came out great, the owner was very happy with the restoration, and I was thrilled to get to see the pictures of the antlers installed.

What a great piece!
