Antler Chandelier Makers in Utah???

[Crazy4Sheds]

I'm sorry this isn't an exciting post, but If there are any guys/gals from Utah on MM that make Antler Chandeliers, please please Let me know? I'm interested in learning how to do it so any help would be appreciated.. I Know there's lots of drilling and such witch isn't the hard part for me. It's learning the Wiring part, so once again if your from UT and make Chandeliers, or lamps comment me please, and I'll send a PM.. Thanks,

One way that I have seen it done is to buy a four or six light chandelier and then wrap the antlers around it. This way you don't have to fuss with the electrical part, just pin the antlers and attatch a hanging harness. Its not as unique as drilling all those holes but it still looks great. Groundhog

I would say to just dig in.
I made an elk antler lamp last year. First thing I did was pick the antlers I was going to use and they made sure they would fit together okay. next, I actually put the elk antlers together (drilled, and fastened them together with screws). Then I made all the necessary marks for drilling the antlers so that I could run the wires through the centers. After all the marks were made, I took the antlers apart and I drilled them. then, I put them back together, ran the wires, fastened the lamp to the top, and then puttied the holes. It actually turned out very nice.

Hope that helps.

I am in buis, making everything out of antlers. You making a chandelier, great but remember, when wiring the wire into many diferent sockets make sure you do not cross any wiring, the electricity has to make full circut. Mark positive from negitive before wiring, the hardest part is getting it to hang level. This is a pain cause every antler is not the same weight nor shape.
Good luck and have fun, I would like to see pics of final product?
One more thing, do not screw into wire were you have ran through the bone.
