Pixman Report post Posted May 12, 2012 Well I saw where a guy had used mud and old english oil on his white sheds so I decided to give it a try. I know they aren't perfect but I am happy with the results. I think it looks better than then when they were mostly white. Let me know what you guys think!

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted May 12, 2012 Looks good! Its not over powering, but definitely adds some color back into them. I used some Birchwood-Casey Tru Oil on a mule deer shed I found a few years ago. I was too liberal with the oil and it really turned them a very un-natural color, your way looks good.

Pixman Report post Posted May 13, 2012 Mud? Never heard of using mud. I have a set that needs some color addd to it, could you explain your process? I like the result! What I did was make a mud hole in my backyard, cover the antlers in mud like the pic shows. Let them dry for a day or two. They weren't dark enough so I covered them in mud 3 different times and let them dry each time. Brushed off the mud with a stiff brush. Wiped down the antlers with a cloth and then rubbed Old English lemon oil on them. They have different Old English oils but I decided to try this one instead of a darker oil. It is fairly simple but it was almost a week long process letting them dry several times. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
