Deer Antler Door Handle

Featured Replies

I decided to scale up an earlier deer antler forging to deer antler barn door handle. This was forged from one ¾ inch diameter round stock seventeen inches long which was drawn out on both ends, then hammer textured, bent back slightly off center and forge welded.  The forge welded end was then shaped, rounded, upset and drilled for screw holes.  The antlers angle out at the base to give decent clearance for a hand to grab and hold the larger horn.

Good job. Simple but I think it's a unique project. 

I can't tell from the pict. Does the top of the antler angle back to the door or not? If not, I'd be afraid someone might impale themselves on it by accident if they slip.

The smaller antler does not come as far out from the door as the larger one and the tip of the smaller antler curves back towards the door instead of being straight up and down.  I suppose someone who grabbed the larger antler handle and slipped could scrape their hand/arm on the smaller antler, but I doubt they could be impaled by the smaller antler. It's a good point to consider when designing the door handle.  Thanks.

I made a matching deer antler barn door handle to create a pair.

Cool and unique door handles! Like it as well as the pyramid shaped studs or pegs. Great job!
