Very nice work, Donnie. It has an authenitic "Old World" look to it. I make a few of these and discovered something called "Old Bones" at the Dixie Gun Works. A few ounces in a quart of water will turn the pale antlers to a rich brown that just reeks of age. This stuff is just potassium permanganate and you might be able to buy it in a drug store, too.
