Made a couple pan primers for my flintlocks for my 4F black powder and a handle for my patch knife I carry with me while black powder hunting. I lost a lot of photos on google drive a couple years ago when they canceled the free could hosting, had to screen shot these from a video. Can make a short starter out of a piece as well.
You can make overlays on traditional bows on the front of the risers and limb tips. Can also use the bases for limb bolts on traditional bows like Black Widow traditional bows do. You can take a band saw and cut them however thick you want to make buttons as well, they cut like butter.
Worst case, you can get a pretty penny per lb. from the antler buyers around here.

Awesome ideas, especially about the limb overlays. I have a couple trad bows that would be cool to spruce up.

Sections of elk and/or moose antler sell for ridiculously high prices in the pet stores around here. Some 6" sections sell for $50.

antler sizes vary but original people here made buttons for clothing, bags, shoes. would have had a leather vest mage from a hide I shot with antler buttons. what item to own!! a bansaw & a drill can do it.

I took this image at the pet store a few weeks ago.
I sold a bunch of whitetail antlers for over $700.00 this year.
They give $12-15.00 a pound for them in WY and always running ads.
Had many years worth of racks and, like you I had no room or idea what I wanted to do with them.

Yup.. dog chews and they go for ridiculous money.
Hey there's a happy looking fella! Yeah I've got 4 German Shepherds that'd love to have them. Probably what most of it will go towards except for a few decorative pieces.
