how did you attach the antler?

 

[mentalnurse]

epoxy and a thread bar on to the wood, i have used it on most of the sticks i have made with no problems. the leather around it is to pad the grip out.

 

[Snufkin]

Is that blackthorn or hazel?
I've a nice hazel one I use a fair bit as it's light. It'll do while my bit of blackthorn seasons.

 

[mentalnurse]

i think it could be beech, the little wood top on the antler is snake wood.
