Default turning antler

none in my possession yet but am wondering if anyone has turned antler

is it too hard or just not turning material


It turns just fine. However you choose to turn acrylics will work on antler. I use a 7mm pen kit and pair the antler with a .308 or a .3006 cartridge. I use a respirator when turning or sanding antler - I don't like the smell.
