They are going to be nice! Every year your post (or a similar one) inspires me to make sure I have the pattern.
Then I proceed to do nothing. Perhaps this weekend I can break that pattern.

Now a final hand sanding to 220 don't think OSHA would like my drying oven. It did cause me problems, with a couple of the lacquer pieces. put them at about 95 F. & I had a bunch of bubble holes to sand out.  using Deft on 6 pcs. First time I have used lacquer. using varnish on the burl pc. because thats what I used on the burl ones from last year. Bob

These are perfect, but a possible addition could be a bottle-opener in the antlers. I mean, if you were going to sell these.
