Beautiful work! As I have recently acquired some antler material, I am very interested in imitating your work, (as best I can.) I understand the melting / pouring and the polishing parts, what do you use for the rough shaping? What do you melt your pewter in? Thanks for the pictures and the inspiration.
Respectfully,
David

what do you use for the rough shaping? What do you melt your pewter in?
I use a stationary belt and disc sander for the rough shaping w/ 50, 100, and 180 grit aluminum oxide belts. I have a small steel ladle for melting small amounts of pewter. I think mine is from an old toy soldier pouring set. I wish I had a small one inch belt sander for close detail work.
