I've been wanting to carve some pipe tampers from white tail antler, and I finally finished one! The main body was turned on a lathe, using a rotary tool for the rough shaping. The scoop/blade was shaped freehand, then the whole thing was sanded then polished to a high gloss It's about 3"x0.5"x0.5". It reminds me of the texture of onyx, but with the warmth of antler!
