    I read the directions for turning Antler material. I'm not sure how to use a thick CA glue to fill the pores. Can you use a liquid hardener like Minwax wood hardener to fill the pores so the dust doesn't fill in when sanding? Or does this just add to the natural hardness & difficulty of turning antler?
    Regards,

    Hi Bill, Without putting words in PSI's mouth, I believe they are trying to say that as you turn the antler down, open pores may appear (Pith). To seal them. blow out the area with an air hose to remove any dust in the pores, then flood the pores with CA. Repeat as needed. You can do this all while the piece is still on the lathe.

    I don't have any experience with the Minwax Wood harder with antler. But I know that some blade makers do soak their antlers in it. From what I understand it needs to be soaked for a period of time, and it may or may not fill all of the pith. The antler also needs to be dried as moisture can cause a "milky" appearance. The antler will still need to have a top coat sealer applied as the hardner is apparently not waterproof.

    CA sounds simpler to me, but give the hardner a go and LMK what you think of it!
