    Think its from monty python..
    You lucky, lucky, lucky B@@@#$D

    You'll enjoy making wonderful things from that lot.
    And we want to see every one of them.
    Maybe a WIP for a knife and a slice maybe....
    After the second lot you'll be sick of them (we hope).

    looks like mostly cast antlers, i had a bunch given to me by a deer farmer once, unfortunately he no longer farms deer, but i do still have a small box of bits to play with

    great haul regardless, you should some very usable bits out of that bunch

    a pen stand out of the crowns comes up really good too

    all the best

    Nice haul Troy, only trouble is you wont have the room to store all of it, it will end up being a safety hazard because you will be tripping over it.
    Definetely have to dispose of some in an environmentely friendly way.

    For us here in Alberta, Canada the only antlers that are legal to use for sale must be "Sheds".
    Sheds have a knob (Button) on the end of the antler where it was attached to the skull and if there is no Button or the antler is still attached to the skull it is illegal for sale.
