Question Shed Antler Fix

I have a really nice set of shed antlers that unfortunately laid on the ground long enough for critters to gnaw on the ends of one side. Is there a good way to sharpen and shape the one side to match the other?


Thanks,
Mike

Mike, 2 part epoxy. The kind sold by Taxidermy suppliers, or your local Taxidermist. Once you fill in the missing area, it's easy to shape and smooth using your hands. Thin with water or paint thinner. Once dry, go over final shaping with fine sandpaper and emory paper. Tint with wood stain. Polish with a soft cloth.
