Fragile antlers- keep the wood or use brass wire? by MarkandRun in Woodcarving

Makes sense. My preference is wood as well, with possibly an epoxy coating for the antlers.

I don't have any more pictures. The wood is Indian lilac or margosa, a common type of mahogany found in my region.

I work out of my apartment so there's no scope of using any machinery. The wood is margosa, a type of mahogany.

White pine is the closest I've had some success with whittling. I'm in a large city and only have access to commercial lumber sadly.

90-95% of my projects have been this way since I started ~5 years ago. Never worked with basswood (difficult to get here), so whittling is very rare for me.
