And a few photos of the process using real antler tines from deer shed antlers that are hand picked to match size, shape, and texture.

A wire is added for strength and epoxy puddy is then molded between the tines and later sculpted with a dremel tool to match. Carefully staining and painting the tines makes the repair very difficult to identify.

*UPDATE - We are now using an additional process of casting artificial tines from real deer antlers to better match broken tines and add strength to the bond.
