I need a three-inch piece of elk antler without very much pith... preferably, a very, very solid piece. Please PM me if you have such, preferably 1.75" diameter, give or take (but not by much).

Thanks.

Russ,

I didn't take any measurements yet, but I have some elk antler. Are you looking for a pointed tine or something about the same diameter for the entire length? -TONY

Hi, Tony.

Something pretty much the same thickness for the length of it. It's for something of a toe cap on a flintlock I'm having built. Kind of need something fairly straight for the length of it. My gunsmith had some elk antler on hand, a piece that was long enough, but it was just a hair too curved to be useful. If you've got anything that would work, let me know.

Thanks, Tony.

I'll take a look at what I have in a little bit and get back to you. -TONY
