Bald Eagle
This is a complete shed moose antler, the eagle and the branches are all natural, not added. I completely removed the outer surface and internal sections of the antler to achieve the look. The piece was then finished with antler stain and clear acrylic. |

Double Wing Bald Eagle
This is a matched set of antlers that I joined together with epoxy and screws, the screw holes were covered with antler epoxy. Many carvers add a wooden or bronze head to achieve this look but I wanted the piece to be completely antler. The piece is finished with acrylic paint and antler stain. |

Trumpeter Swan
This was the first antler I completely stripped and painted. This was a very old heavily stained antler that sat for years. I was down to my last antler when this idea came to me, a forced perspective. It is finished with translucent white acrylic paint, black acrylic paint and mounted on granite. |
