It should I used to have a Tenor guitar with one,it never cracked.
Disconnect the deer first.
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.
Awesome Maddog! Is there any audio/video of you playing that bass? I'd love to share it with a friend of mine who plays bass. Thanks!
How long should the scale length be for a 2 string short scale bass?

Sorry, no vid yet. I'm one of those technologically challenged old guys but I am hoping to get the vid thing figured out with a little help from Uncle John :-)
They work real well!! i have a bunch of Elk horn and it's great!
I have used one for the nut and it works really good and looks good at the same time.

I`ve been making my carved saddle bone bridges for years now...as far as using deer antler their o.k not as dense as bone though, and for a great tone thats what you want. I found it`s best to use the antler that comes right off the skull cap for the best sound. The thing with antler is most aren`t solid clean through unlike what bone is.
Off topic... but... That's a very cool headstock!
