Those look real nice!

From the texture on it, thats a moose that was killed in velvet or died in velvet. I have a couple whitetail antlers that were in velvet, it dries and gives it a rough look and feel, very similar to that.

Kid you are correct one anler was a shed and the other came off a bull killed in the velvet.It leaves those little grooves in the antler.Looks kind of neat that way...bd
