new antler carver

[kim tucker]

I have noticed that people who carve antlers(deer) are limited to what they can create. I have been luckey with some birds and now I am working on a female bust. I would like to hear from and see some unique work from those who venture off the norm of things..Thanks,Tuck

I use to carve moose antlers and some deer. As long as you have some thickness only your imagination will limit your abilities to work on a piece. It's not really any differant then using a piece of wood to carve on.
