"   This is "Ol JawBone", a 2 string bass I built last year. Has nice tone and resonates well. I'm guessing the antler will work as well, looks cool too ;-)"

"I have made 3-4 guitars with antler nuts and/or bridges.  Works great and gives it a unique look.  Even hollowed out the underside of an antler bridge and glued a piezo up in it.  Works awesome and is used in a band."
