Very sweet indeed. Did you dye the marrow with something before glueing the scales on? If so, what kind of dye? Did you put superglue into the marrow to firm it up a bit? If so, what type? Where did you source the samba stag from? Did you have to hold out for some pieces that were the right size or did you just work with what you had? What did you use as your end finish? ....Where do you live?
