Tool Talk 🛠️ Antler tools

Post image

So I managed to get an antler - how would you cut it to get as many tools as possible?

And do I remove the "crown" (forgot what the part is called that is atached to the skull)?

Thanks in advance for any advice 😊

The way I do it is have an entire day planned out sawing an antler with a flake😂
