I hear the Chinese use it to put 'lead' in their pencils.

Antler is bone, I believe, and in some ruminants modified hair. The problems
with dust are the same as problems with other dust. If you breath it in your lungs have to clear themselves. It is better not to breath it. Besides which, you will want to cover your nose as much as possible from the smell. This is not a pretty thing. Have fun. -- God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS Canada www.aroundthewoods.com |

Hi Bill, I believe Rex Burningham and Kip Christensen discuss turning
pens from antlers in their books and videos and they probably have articles in magazines. I'm not sure of this as I have no interest. I can't stand the smell of burnt hair or bone; even the buck couldn't stand it and got rid of his. :) I tried turning beef bone once and like the taste of cod liver oil, sulfur & molasses and castor oil from my childhood, the memory of that acrid smell lingers. In fairness, antler turnings are quite attractive and desirable. Good luck. Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |
