jok 3,036 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Griff. Just looking again at that beautiful work., when you took the tine off, how did you seal it. Reason I'm asking, got this roe antler and don't want to spoil the outward appearance. If I cut it and shape it what's the best sealant.?Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
