How did you do the deer foot on the end? And how do you get the color in it?

I used a dremel tool with the engraving bits and then put sepia colored ink in it.

I also do european skull mounts and this antler came off one of my own deer. It had been stained with antler stain and then I went back with a buffing wheel that dremel makes(kind of looks like a coarse sponge) and hit it in all the high areas so that the only dark left was in the recessed areas. I also sand off any of the bumps on the antler that make it uncomfortable in your hand. I would think wood stain would work...never tried it though.
