Hi guys, I am not a hunter but I have friends who are. I am afraid I would not be able to hit a barn door at 10 paces. What I am looking for is some small pieces of Deer antler to use in my hobby which is pen turning. I have made many pens over the years using timber but have seen some really nice work done from USA using antlers and I would love to try to do some myself. Import laws restrict imports of this kind so I am trying to source something in Australia. I only need small pieces or pieces that I can cut down to around 3 to 4 inches. (75mm to 100mm) Longer peices are okay cos I can cut them to size.
If anyone knows where I can buy antler pieces from, I would appreciate it very much, I have tried to obtain some myelf but so far have been out of luck.
I am prepared to pay for the pieces but I just can't find anyone who sells it.
Where can I buy some pieces of Deer antlers?

I have been trying to locate one nearby but I dont think there is any in Brisbane but I will do a search for them again and see if there are any that are not too far away.

Another place to try is knife shows. I've picked up some antler at the Melbourne knife show before. Makes great knife handles. Regards, Charlie.
