Whitening Stag or Antler - Bladesmith's Forum Board
2013年2月28日 · Hydrogen peroxide, or maybe oxy-clean or some other oxygen bleach, or maybe oxalic acid? Chlorine bleach destroys bone (which stag is). I use 3% hydrogen peroxide to bleach stained bone chine teacups. It's gentle, but takes a few months to work. The 20% hydrogen peroxide form a beauty supply store might be worth a shot since it works a lot faster.

2021年11月15日 · I'm getting ready to do a couple antler handles for the first time. Been reading on how to do them best. One way is boil it and push it on, let dry and it hardens to tang. Others drill is out and epoxy it on. Figured I'd ask on here which method do you prefer to use or have had the best luck with?
Stag/antler slabs, sealing? - Bladesmith's Forum Board
2003年8月7日 · I seal all my antlers with superglue currently, but am looking into a vacuum rig to truly stabilize them. The staining isn't the worst problem, antlers move with temp and humidity and will crack if something isn't done to seal them. (Ask me how I know )
