Guest MarylandQDMA Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I'm workinig on making the lamps out of shed antlers I have found over the years, they should turn out well however, some of the sheds are bleached white from the sun, any ideas on a stain I can use to return them back to there natural color? I was thinking some type of oak stain or other light colored wood stain. also any sugustions for a type of epoxy I can use to cement the antlers together?

huntinsonovagun Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: Making Antler Lamp need answers... I used wood polish. You can use virtually any natural color without worrying about getting too much. If you want darker, apply more. PICS PICS PICS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Re: Making Antler Lamp need answers... Just goto Ace Hardware and get some minwax stain to your liking. Also any two part epoxy sold there will do the trick. Just read the labels and make sure it will adhere to your material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
