I've been whittle'n on this till I'm cross eyed, time for a break. I'm still boasting in at this point. The pattern is from Philip Eck's Custom Gunstock Carving book

I recommend carving on a practice piece before doing anything detailed. It seems kind of tedious at first but once you settle in to it, it is really hard to put the knife down

I'm using a knife and a skew for about 90% of it I had to resort to diamand bit (dremel) around the antlers. things could change however when I get done roughing. This is new to me and I couldn't tell you where it will lead as far as tools go when I start detailing.
