[QUOTE="Broz, post: 601565, member: 7503"] I have restored many antlers that were bleached out from sun. If they are just white I can get them to look so good you would never know from a few feet away. The ones that are so far gone they are chalky and cracked or checked are better left white. If you try to color the chalky ones with stain it will go to a dark brown and look fake as crap. I have spent many hours getting this process down to an art. If the rack is that big I would be careful what you do. There are other methods to use in conjunction with stain. Post a pic of a close up and I will try to help. Or, maybe I would consider doing them for you. It is a process that takes time and if you are not careful you could easily spoil them. Below is a little project I am working on now. Many of these antlers were faded to white on at least one side beacuse they are sheds I found. Can you tell where I worked them over?
