Christmas Tree Made Out of Shed Antlers
By Scott Bestul
With the shed-hunting season fast approaching, I confront the same dilemma faced by most antler nuts. Namely, what to do with all that bone I collect? Mostly I just label the date and location of all my finds, then stack them in some corner of my office.
But this picture has given me some new ideas…A Christmas tree made from sheds! Given my present pace of shed-collection, it would take me a couple years to amass enough to create such a tree. But it’s a worthy goal to shoot for! Now to sell the idea to Shari and the kids….
So how was Christmas at your house? Santa bring you what you wanted? I had a wonderful time; gathering with family, eating great food, and watching my kids get giddy-excited over the whole process. Hope your holiday was similarly wonderful!

Deer are already dropping their antlers here in ontario, i found my first shed of the season on christmas day and the matching shed on boxing day while walking to my stand
thats pretty cool and quite the collection!
so when do when about do we see a blog about where and how to look for sheds or will it be in one of the upcoming issues. I'd like to give it a whirl some time.
that is my kind of tree but my mom would kill me and my dad if we did that but i have to admit it would be funny to see her face if we made that
My gosh Phil do you know this man and where he lives? Please tell me he works at a game farm, I can't find that amount of sheds in a decade!
Very cool! that's a heck of alot of sheds.
now that is art! how long did it take him to amass that much bone?
Neat! an all natural Yule tree that ain't flammable nor conductive! Besides think how much that tree is worth to a Chinese pharmacy!
WOW. That would take me about 20 years to find enough antlers to make one of those trees. It seems that I find an average of about 2 sheds per year.
Now that's a unique and creative way to display sheds!
Thats one sweet Christmas Tree! I wish that was my Christmas tree!
That's a sweet christmas tree wish I had one I live in nc and its hard to find sheds where I live
That's a sweet christmas tree wish I had one I live in nc and its hard to find sheds where I live
that is the coolest tree ever!
less than a week ago I checked out a lamp made with four sheds...at a cost of $375 ~ can you even imagine what something like this would go for as a unique item!
thats awsome!
