Title: antler buttons
Post by: JEB on August 08, 2013, 04:24:31 pm

I cut some antler buttons today for some arm guards.  I was wondering if I should coat the flat sides with a layer of super glue to stabilize the antler and strengthen it. Your thoughts?

I coat my elk antler, but with solid whitetail, i don't bother with it.
