A tip I found out to help with the ivory tips on elk, is put a coat on and then wipe the tips where you want the ivory look after each coat. It avoids the need to sand the tips. I've noticed when I sand the tips too much of the base stands out. Makes it almost too white. Once you put the first coat of stain on and wipe it, the paint will have an ivory look to it. Then for the bumps on the beams, I sand them down to the white paint before I put the final coat of stain. That will leave the bumps lighter, but not bright white.

Just found your channel. Great content! My 12 year old son is watching with me, and in voice-over portions, he said "that guy sounds like Bob Ross!" I told him "I guess he's the Bob Ross of antlets!" Anyway, thanks for sharing, and God Bless.

I found a wood marker is great for touch ups as well. Especially if you want the base a little darker, or maybe during the whitening process you've whitened the antlers a little bit. Use the marker, and water to thin it out if you need to.

You could get some oil based paints. I got mine from hobby lobby. Colors I have are Payne’s grey, raw umber, burnt umber, raw senia. Use Payne’s grey as your base color on horns and the the browns to darken them up. After done you can rub some of it off with terry cloth to blend more. Use lacquer thinner to thin paint down when putting it on the horns. Once you get the desired color you can clear coat with a matte clear to seal it. Can have one done from start to finish in about 2 hours

Excellent video. I'm trying this out on a set of antlers I have from a muley I shot in velvet 2 years ago. the antlers are very porous toward the tips due to still being in velvet when I took it. I didnt know how to preserve the velvet and when I fount out, it was too late, so I stripped them. When you stain them, do you add a heavy layer and than wipe it off? when I try to wipe off excess, its taking to much off due to the paint underneath. Also do you clear coat yours when finished?

Great video. You might try your hand at using lacquer thinner and acrylic paints. Use a pains grey diluted down to make a wash with the lacquer thinner let it dry and take steel wool to it and knock of the runs and dark spots. Then go back with a wash if raw umber or burnt umber and let it dry and take steel wool to it also blend it real good and then you can seal it with matte finish clear coat. Turned out well for me.

Great tips! I have tried (unsuccessfully) to revive some old antlers. I actually have a set of mule deer antlers in my shop that a co-worker asked me to "do my best" so I will try this method on them. One question, it looks like you used more of the wire brush than the steel wool around the bases with the uneven "pearling" (just what we always called it). Is that the case? I had to touch up a euro where the bleach leaked through to that area and had a devil of a time knocking the "glossy" finish off that area after I touched it up. Thanks! Love the videos!

Could you clarify if you apply the stain and then wipe it off before applying the next coat. I didn't hear you say that either way in the video. I'm redoing some really old elk antlers and want to get it right. I restored some moose antlers and replaced one of the tangs with Apoxie Sculpt which I didn't put a base coat of paint on first and of course the stain reacted differently to it than the antler. No one can really tell accept me, but I'd rather do better on the elk antlers. Thanks for your advice.
