Cut it up and give it a try. Hopefully it aint to old and dry. Looks like those might make some nice knife handles or pressure flakers.

I was wondering if a shed was good for that or not well if I need a fresh one this might do

Shed works fine. The fresh ones don't, so send them to me. ;D

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I'm starting to build my Knapping kit so i'm not sure I should keep or trade. Moose horn is hard to come by for me a tag every 4 years.
But if I find more good sheds I will trade or give away anything I can't use.Is there a good picture of a punch for fluting? ???
Thanks Leroy

NICE ;D,  That is great, is that from this season.  Good Moose billets are hard to come by, and quite expensive if you can get your hands on them.  Congrats on the Moose.  Where are you located?

If that moose is yours and you intend to make billets out of the antlers, make sure you leave some skull at the base of the antler.  It will be harder and last longer that way.  Good lookin' bull. That is plenty of good eating too.
