So I have a nice chunk of moose antler that I'm hoping to make some scales with, but am unsure as to how I should proceed. I can take some pics tonight or possibly at lunch, but there is plenty of real estate to get scales out of it.
What I'm wondering about is do I sand it all down and lose the bark on the outside? It's fairly thick, should I cut a piece out, get it flat on both sides and then rip it into the two halves of the scales? Would I bugger up all the structural integrity of the material doing this?
