Default Deer antler

Trying to turn a couple of pens for a hunter friend. Any suggestions
would be helpful and appreciated. It is not very white, can that be
fixed?

Thanks

Try using older antler. I have been turning some from some shed antlers
that are about 4 yrs old and I had no odor problem at all. If they are off
the deer, elk, etc for less than 60 days they are considered green and have
quite a bit of moisture content, even though they seem dry. Experiment.
Let them set for a few weeks, months, whatever. HTH.
