Custom Mouthpiece Stand/Holder

Post by Big Francis »

I finally had the means, motive, and opportunity to make this happen today after sitting on this baby moose antler for the best part of 15 years.

Very nice! :clap:

Did you just drill holes, or are they tapered a bit?

Thank you! 3/4” drill bit and softened the edges with a dremel tool.

Awesome!

But you MUST have had more comfortable seating available than that over the last 15 years. :facepalm2:

I came here to make this exact joke. Why are we like this?

Edit to add to the discussion and not just be a hanger-on: this is very cool, and I would love to have a little display thing like this. Good news for me, if Frank has just one antler, the other one's gotta be out there somewhere.

The difficulty lies in finding a small antler. Here it is next to an adult antler.

The small antler was probably shed by a 1- or 2-year-old moose. The adult antler would probably take up half my desk.
