According to the original poster, it’s possible to carve different items from deer antlers without hurting or killing the deer. We checked. It’s true. Deer shed their antlers from Fall to Winter. This is natural and doesn't cause the deer any pain. This carver has used said shed antlers to create some beautifully detailed hairpins. The carving on the top left includes what looks like an amber stone in its center.
The others are standalone pieces that would make great gifts. Although those hairpin ends do look pretty lethal to us! Despite that, it’s a great way to use something that would have otherwise have been left to waste.
