Antler Buttons?

[IsaacW]

The first set were done with a hand drill, the others I used a drill press (just "invested" in one). The bits are diamond. Cutting was done dry on older dry antlers (some shot, some shed). Speed was a medium to faster speed but I went slow with it.

Here is a photo of one of the bits. I took this photo when doing the first batch.

It's a good thing that cutting/grinding/sanding antler stinks something awful huh? Man that smell gets in your nose for days, I started using a respirator when I was working with antler and bone.
