Stabilized Moose Antler Test 

This Test Antler has unknown age.

There is very little color definition in the old piece.

The finished end has been dyed and Stabilized. 

The process/steps are still being improved.

The possibilities are enormous for knife handles.

So if you need to sit right and brighten up your room give him a call.
