BASS Report post Posted September 28, 2006 Do you have any pics? It sounds like a dandy! How did you stain the antlers? What brand/name did you use? What are the steps? Sorry for the questions but I have a couple sets of racks that I would like to clean up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coues4x4 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 I just got the pics,I just need help posting them.Maybe I can e-mail then to someone? I used Kiwi leather scuff cover.I experimented on an old shed and it came out pretty nice so I did an 81" coues skull I found last year in 22,that stuff works great.I'm no expert and I know there are probably more professional ways but my way worked for me.Oh yeah after I applied some stain I would wipe it with a rag and repeated until I got the finish I wanted.Good luck and I hope your as happy as I was with the results.
