stag grips
I saw some stag pieces for sale at my local Dog food place.
Had to try it.....$40 for two oversized pieces and a few days work. It cost $1.89 an ounce. I picked pieces that had a lot of outside solid and avoided pieces that had a lot of 'core'.
I cut them on the bandsaw, so I had almost all the outside hard edge to work with.
I've done ivory on my SAA's and Bisley's, even used Mastadon ivory on a Bowie....never did stag. It works like ivory, and buffs up on the wheel with a white stick.
I 'strop' sanded them to get the round shape.
Feels like ivory with a nice texture....
