Ok, I need advise from the experts and from those who have made mistakes.
My brother in law just gave me 6 deer antler sets to make pens.
Anyone out there have any experience? Anyone tried and screwed up,
but know why they screwed up?
Some basic questions:
Any curing / aging / drying need to be checked or take place?
Whats the best way to cut them?
Any drilling tips?
Gluing tips?
Turning tips - speed, tools, etc?
Anything that you can suggest would be greatly appreciated. I've
turned probably 100 pens, 30 walnut bowls, 6 backscratches, 8 Boxes
and made some other things just for christmas. So I have some
experience, just never attempted Deer Antler. Thanks in advance.

Can't help you as I mainly turn bowls. Try posting this to
rec.crafts.woodturning. This is mainly a binary (pictures) newsgroup.
