[QUOTE="jimss, post: 2217070, member: 66919"] I do a lot of "antler restoration". I've figured out a process to even bring chalking sheds or antlers back to life. It takes an incredible amount of time to do right. I often use up to 4 or 5 different color combos. As mentioned earlier Minwax works fairly well. There are 3 different colors of Minwax that work on whitetail, mule deer, and elk. The trick is to put on super light coats rather than one thick coat! I also use quite a few different colored pencils. I use steel wool between coats to get the affect I want. It may sound weird but I use a lot of the same antiquing and painting techniques used in fish replica taxidermy. It's also possible to restore broken points or tips of antler/horns....another process. It's taken a lot of trial and error! [/QUOTE]
