Thanks Rushy.

I don't have much, just a long sika spiker that I've been working with. Working with antler is a new skill to me, I never realised that antler was porous in the middle for example, I also never realised that finding a ''flat spot'' wide enough to use for a handle on a skinny round antler was going to be so tricky...all traps for new players I guess.

I've got a little bit here if you want to try making a knife handle, but it may have to be a ''hidden'' tang design as the remaining antler is getting pretty skinny. For a full tang like I've done you need the base of the antler to get the width.
