[QUOTE="Crafty, post: 404112, member: 3241"] Thanks all. All of the pieces are mortised out to fit the tang, not so tight that you have to force it down with hammer but a snug fit. The first piece of antler did get tamped down then used a gap filling CA for the first piece, the rest get a liberal coating of 30 minute epoxy. A light clamp pressure to hold everything in place then cross your fingers! If you clamp it too tight you will squeeze out to much epoxy and weaken the joint. I also used a rough sandpaper to give the tang a bit of something for the glue to hold onto. [/QUOTE]
