Its amazing what you can do with some Bourbon and deer antler
I was in my shop last night enjoying some burbon and working on some reels when the wife came in and ask me about making a wreath out of the deer antlers that a buddy had given me. About 45min later I was going to get the camera to get a picture of the creation. I think its pretty cool,,,,watcha think?
Im going to add some holly to it and then give it to the same guy that gave me the antlers. I think thats a pretty cool gift.

The last time I did a project with my fav. bottle of bourbon, the only wreath I decorated was a porcelain one.
Glad those days are gone. |

Ha-Ha-Ha,,,,Its not that hard to make. The wife had the round metal frame from Michaels and the green stuff. (What ever its called)
I have a big roll of monel wire that I wrapped the horns to the frame. You should try it. She took these with her phone.

I really like that wreath. But my wife wouldn't let it in the house.
Hey, I didn't see a glass in the picture.

She thinks antler displays, mounted heads, etc are morbid. She's not a PETA type but doesn't like animals shot.

Nice job, sir.
I'd end up cutting off a finger while trying to a project like this while enjoying bourbon. |
