The Antler is an incredible display of beauty that adorns the heads of all male members of the deer family. Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Elk, Moose and Caribou all carry unique sets of antlers that are shed every year during winter or spring. Then, in a period of six months or less, another set is grown that is usually larger and heavier than before. This amazing cycle makes the Antler the ultimate renewable resource for furniture and artwork.

I like to show off each individual antler as much as possible in my creations. I like to think that "less is more " and tend to make things that show all parts of the antler. I try to stay away from what I call "porcupine art" ...chandeliers, tables and such that are just a bunch of antlers clustered together so that about all you see is a bunch of tines sticking out. I also like to use antler parts for all the small details on my fixtures, replacing the standard brass and plastic whenever possible. I use only grade "A" brown antlers on all products unless the customer specifies otherwise. I can also use sun bleached or weathered antlers which when polished make some awesome fixtures.

Being the optimist that I am, I believe that if you can think it, I can build it. Since antlers come in all shapes and sizes, there are endless possibilities for their use. I can design around your idea for your special room, place or person. If you would like, I can use your antlers and offer a discount for doing so providing some sentimental value as well.
