Your salmon antlers rock! The second one has a marbled look to it, is this from the natural aging of the antler ( left in the woods to season), if it is, do you know how long it takes for an antler to achieve this. (Sorry about the lack of question marks...at times my keyboard warps into french mode, and I can't type question marks without rebooting.) Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Thank you all very much
To Jay,
You never know what the antler looks like inside until you start carving away the layers. I think the marble looking part you are seeing is the part that grow's closest to the skull-more blood cells, and can have a beautiful dark purple color and is generally a fresher shed. Older sheds that have been weathered generally are not as colorful inside. Hope that helps
