Hi,
I've been doing some carving with antler as the material. Can someone tell me what would work to apply color to the material?

Dear Friend,
Maybe you could try with the Search because there is a lot of information on how to color bones, antler and ivory.
Hugs,

Thanks Calvin and Sebas for bringing this post to the surface. I was away at a show, and did not see this one.

You could try leaving it in a cup of strong tea overnight. Then give it a light sand with fine wet/dry and then polish. Gives some nice results
