I want to put this eagle carved moose antler on my cabin wall. I plan on putting it on a large branch I want to use two small bolts or one large one to mount it to the branch. Can anyone recommend a good epoxy they’ve used



to bond metal to antler.

I'm stunned with that piece! Gorilla glue or JB weld have large variety of products for specific bonding now.

That is beautiful, you have some great talent. Anything more to show us?.......jk

I bought it at Pioneer Village in Fairbanks at the end of summer about 5 years ago. I wish I had that kind of talent.

Should be able to drill and tap the antler itself, and they sell threaded inserts for drywall that would likely work too./

Fiber Glass or maybe Bondo would work.

I drill and tap threads in deer antler all the time to make drawer pulls on china cabinets and such. No glue needed. Antlers are made of a fantastically durable material.

I've used JB Weld to glue knife blades into antler handles and it worked very well.

My concern with tapping it is a moose antler isn’t light and this one would be difficult to replace if damaged from a 10 foot fall. A good glue is often as strong as the material it is applied too.

Thanks for the replies.

Not to hijack the thread But …….. here is one I carved many years ago.

Epoxies are the strongest glues psi. Personally i use any kind of 2 part epoxy. Ive used every brand of 5 minute epoxy. I also use some west systems epoxy as well. It takes longer to dry 24 hrs but has a certain flexibility to it. I would use that in conjunction with a mechanical fasteners aka bolts

You are a very talented artist newhouse114. Very nice.

D.T. The plan from the beginning. I wanted to hear from some people who had experience. Thanks
