Hi there,
Having wandered round the site for a little while, I'm incredibly impressed by the stunning quality of the work! Brilliant.
I am looking for some help though, particularly from you professional makers; I'm looking for someone to fit an antler handle to a blade. I would try myself, but am more than a little cack handed (as I've discovered on several previous attempts in both wood and antler). Even if someone could point me in the right direction that would be excellent.
If this is an inappropriate request for this forum, then please forgive me, but I've been looking for someone to do this for ages now, and this seems like an excellent place to ask.
Many thanks

Welcome to the forums Paracelsus, I'm sure that you'le find some one here who can do what you're asking, or even give you the tips to do it yourself. :D

Hi Paracelsus - Welcome to the forum

I'm afraid I've not got a clue on your question :D but I'll move your post to somewhere you might get a sensible answer.

Welcome. I am sure someone here'd be happy to help out for a fee, but I suggest you have a go yourself.

As for how to do it ... a lot depends on the type of handle, the type of tang and the individual piece of antler. Any photos you could provide would help us to help you.
