female_blacksmith Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 wow ! I love all the texture and everything about them really. Would love to have seen the demo for sure. Just out of interest, how long did it take you from start to finish to make this deer antler ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccustomknives Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 WOW! :o I've got to step up my game. I experimented making a set out of crane cable. I thought they turned out pretty good, but dang. You make me look like the amature I really am. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J W Bennett Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hi everyone, Sorry I hadn't got back yet. Thanks for your kind words and feed back. As far as how long it takes to forge a shed It all depends on the size and the shape of the original antler. If I recall there is probably 40 hours in that but I can't say for sure because I forged the step by step pieces and took the pictures for the demo handout while I forged this one.
