Aaron,
That's simply magnificent work! I have a lot of antlers hanging around here as well, but all simple full mounts and certainly no carving or scrimshaw in evidence! I don't hunt much anymore due to health shortfalls but do get out for 3-4 days once a year on my home property with my Son and Grandson, a family tradition for many years! A lot of the skills apparent in your work show up in your first model here, I hope you continue with the model building hobby...... and again a pleasure to view your original works.
Cheers,
Lance
