OldTrapCollector 377 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Gaffer Try closely matching the diameter of the shank to the horn or antler - the closer you can get the diameters the better it will look when completed - a seamless transition from hazel to antler gives the best finish ;-) OTC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
