Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I make a begleri using deer antler. This is a classic anti-stress accessory used in Greek and other eastern mediterranean cultures. You can find deer antler in a pet shop as a dog chew.
I begun by cutting the horn on the bandsaw. I drilled a pilot hole for my screw chuck.
I then started turning it. Scrapers worked really nicely on this material.
I sanded from 100 to 1000 and then I polished it with micro mesh pads.
The material is pretty hard and can achieve a pretty cool shine. Especially the exterior of the bone. The core has pores which give the piece a really cool texture.
My little begleri was now ready. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
