1463.0. "ANTLER RE-FINISHING?" by OTOOA::LEBEN () Thu Sep 21 1995 14:44

    Hello from Canada.  I have been given a pretty decent set of moose antlers.
    I'd like to hang them in our rec-room at home, but they have been left
    outside for a couple of years, and as you can guess, they're pretty
    blanched.  Does anyone have any experience with re-finishing antlers
    like this so that they look fresh again?  I'd appreciate any comments.
                                                                       
    Thanks for now,
    
    Rick

    I have never messed with refinishing antlers but a friend of mine
    re-did a set of Mule deer antlers using shoepolish.  They looked really
    good too......
