I love working with deer antler. Aside from the awful smell if you go heavy on the power tools, it’s great for everything. My favorite being knife handles. I also have a few femur, thigh, and knuckle bones that I cleaned up last year that I’ve been trying to think of a use for…a snuff container of some sort sounds like just the thing.
speaking of bone snuff containers, I bought one much like this one:
The carved top lifts and has a small bone spoon attached to it.
I will have to rework my one of my 200 year old wood communion snuff box. Today I had a pocket full of snuff mixed with various materials like saw dust.concrete pieces and spackle and plaster with paint chip dust.Yes I was busy fortunate for me I have several back up snuff boxes that don’t fail.

Very nice, extremely collectable - not necessarily in a monetary way - but just great pieces that have a place in the history of our art.
i had a snuff box just like those, great box. first wife swiped it in 1976. got it in 1973 in gulfport mississippi while stationed at keesler air force base. paid about $20 for it. Wish I had it back now. i dont think they make em anymore.
by the way, if any of you fellows dip skoal, they are giving away a five dollar gift card if you call em.
dont want to step on any toes here so you can get the phone number on the box container the promo can comes in. also, they give you a code that you can give to five pals who can get the same gift card and you get an additional five for a bird dog fee. Hope I have not broken a rule by passing this info on to ya.
