Another Antler Powder Measure
« on: January 09, 2010, 02:15:51 PM »
I had one good antler tip left, so made this one to hold 100 gr. The spirals make two full revolutions. The brass tip is a modified lamp nut threaded onto a steel shank that is threaded into the antler. Thanks for looking.

That is really pretty. You would never know by looking that it used to be part of an antler.

Fantastic.  :th up  Great tip on using the lamp ring for attachment.  Do you use fresh antlers or can you use old ones? I have a few laying around & am wondering can they be used for projects.  BH

LRB, you are a talented artist!  This is as fine as I ever saw.  I was initially tempted to post my primitive antler measures but after seeing yours I think I'll just sit back down.

Go ahead and post them. They are probably more like most originals than mine are. I just do them because I can. Well, most of the time I get what I want, but I have some I 'm not all that proud of.

Hanshi, I looked at yours on another board. OK, they are not fancy. But most originals weren't either. You did well for what you did. I started out about the same. Keep at it. You'll get better.

I can do crude and simple but artistic escapes me.  These are functional at least and within the ability of a klutz like me.
