2. Precision Mold Creation
Larry, our master craftsman, carefully creates a detailed mold using high-quality latex or silicone. This step ensures that every natural curve, ridge, and intricate nuance of your antlers is faithfully recorded, forming the essential blueprint for the final piece.
3. Detailed Hand Tool Refinement
After molding, Larry meticulously refines the mold using traditional hand tools such as chisels and dremels. This hands-on process corrects any imperfections and enhances fine details, guaranteeing that the antler replica or restoration mirrors the original antlers as closely as possible.
4. Meticulous Hand-Painting
In the final artistic phase, each antler replica is hand-painted with layers of subtle color and shading. Larry’s skilled brushwork and airbrushing accentuates natural textures and highlights, creating a lifelike finish that not only replicates but celebrates the inherent beauty of your antlers.
5. Quality Assurance & Customer Satisfaction
We work closely with you throughout the process, guaranteeing that the finished piece truly reflects the character and legacy of your original antlers.
