BTW those antlers would look great mounted
on a big slab of wood. Maybe a trade to me
for something like this.

Art imitates life! Very nice.
I cut off the longer brow tine for a flaker, so far that's all I've done. I still might use the main branch for bow limbs

Good Morning Tax! I would say, follow the natural curve above the base of the first tine around to the edge of the crown and make a "hammer" shaped billet.
