Title: Antler Tips Decorative Back Quiver?
Post by: Hood on May 25, 2007, 06:06:00 PM
I was hoping maybe someone could help me.

I want to try to decorate a backquiver with antler tips. Basically a piece of leather string with an antler tip attached to it. But I dont want to drill a hole all the way through the antler, just the end that is cut off.

I've seen this done on bolo ties, knife sheaths, etc. But I don't know how it's done.

Can anyone explain how it's done?

Thanks, Robert

Cut the antler tip the legnth ya wnat. Put it in a vise and drill the hole about a 1/4" into the end you cut. Glue the leather into the hole.<><

Thanks Guys,

It sounds so simple that I thought it must be more complicated. Any special glue?

Thanks Again,
Robert

Super glue worked great when I did this for my quivers.

Superglue should work well, maybe try a two part epoxy  that will give you more working time. Frank
