Deer Antler given by a community member from her late husband. The antlers were rotten and wet, most were not usable, this came from the base of one, which I rough turned and let dry and stabilize for a few months. I turned a box, turned the outside, and turned the beads around the outside. For antler I rarely sand, only using a bare paper towel to burnish (antler doesn't burn with heat). I then buff with WD compound, and then the plain wheel. The base is walnut. Total height with stand is 1.25", diameter of box is 0.5"
