I had a tub full of antlers that I've collected over the years. Decided to create a shadow box coffee table to display them in. The wood is western red cedar with just a couple coats of polyurethane. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Well done! I like it! I especially like the red cedar. I at first thought it was knotty pine until I read your entire post.

I made one several years ago out of a set of moose horns I found North of Nome Alaska in the tundra.
Dont let your wife cover it with crap like mine did..ha!

All wife issues were resolved in June of 2015 LOL. There is no way she would allow that table in the house when we were married.
