Antler

[Jubei]

Looking for the best place for antler pieces to make firesteels etc , are the dog chew ones treated at all

 

[Dogoak]

The ones I’ve seen in pet shops don’t appear to have been treated and I’d hope not for the dogs sake.

Make sure you use a suitable mask when working it!

If you can wait until January-February find your own. Unlike horns, antler and seasonal and grow every year. When testosterone drops off so do the antlers. Typically Jan thru March. Go a walk to known populations with a little saw and recycle what you can from what you find on the ground.
