I'm in need of a spike or two of a deer antler for pressure flaking stone tools (a new hobby/something I'm doing with my anthropology students). I don't need a whole rack or anything, just a few points long enough to hold onto.

Do any of our Forum hunters have some antler lying around that they'd be willing to part with for a small price?

Thanks!

OAM, if no one here has any to share, try Moscow Hide and Fur. https://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/Antlers.html
they sell tips and pieces of antlers of all kinds.
If you have luck learning to knap, please show us :>

If you can't find one here, just about every chain pet store has them for sale as dog chews.

I think I do. I'll look in the shed in the morning.

You could try the local game warden. They may have some from road kills.

I have some that are about 3, maybe 4 inches long. If that would work they are yours.

That would be perfect.

I'll send you an email.
