I do mine much the same except I use a beveled bolt head so that the bolt cannot come out of the burr. I also grind two sides of it flat so that it can never spin loose. For glue I use smooth on and put it in the oven for an hour and a half. It helps to put some tree Wax on the tape too.
Great instructive build along.

God bless you all, Steve

Great job with the step by step instructions.  If I ever get some antlers with big enough bases I'll have to give it a try.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Excellent. I might be able to do that!

Well I'm finished with the antler bolts. I will let the 2 hour epoxy cure over night before I tighten the bolts for use. I placed them on the bow for pictures only. I would have made some a long time ago if I'd know that they're this easy to make. Thanks again "michbowhunter"!!!

Here are the pictures,

Heck that was so easy, I made another pair for my Sarrels SR Longbow. The first set turned out but if I may say so this set really turned!!!

I do think that I actually like the look of sheds better that cut off antlers, but they all look good. Funny thing I almost paid for some a while back. Thanks again Michbowhunter!!!
