I just got my lamps back from a good freind an long time customer. I traded him a 5 gallon bucket fo antlers for 2 lamps. The antlers I got for free, customers that didnt want theirs over the past few years. Total cost 0$ ;D   If you want to check out some more of his work you can look at it at antlernaturesway.com/ |

OK.. I've considered doing this with some of my old antlerss.
How does one go about drilling them for the wire?
Is it a special flexible drill?
TIA...

I too wondered how he made them. After some close inspection, I noticed some holes filled in with antler puddy. It looks like he just used a long straight bit, and drilled holes as long as possible that intersect with one another. Looks like a time, and labor intesive process that requires some patience. But the end result is quite nice looking.

Here is a lamp that I did myself last year with sheds I found. I only had to drill two wholes. I simply used super glue and leather straps. Seems to be holding up pretty good to me.  |
