Elk Chandelier Build

[Antlers86]

Will be putting this chandelier together over the next week or so for a Member. Going to be a slow process due to my full time job but I will update photos along the way. Running wires this evening if storms don't keep me in the house. Once it's fully together I plan to stain the antlers darker with light colored tips.

6' Diameter and 3' Tall

Was able to get the base together and all wires run through the antler. Working on drilling the top antlers out to run wires through right now.

Productive evening! All antlers drilled and wired! Hollowed out a base/burr for the wire housing! More pics tomorrow.

Yea, your trade is safe with you. All those antler crossings, holes drilled, and wires sticking out just gave me a headache trying to figure it out! Looks good!

How much does one of these run? What about WT horns?

How much does one of these run? What about WT horns?

This particular size runs @ $3000. Really depends on the size/quantity of antlers used. As far as Whitetail Chandeliers they start at $500 and go up to $1750. Again, based on size/quantity of antlers used. Majority of the Whitetail Chandeliers you see me post here run $600-$750. These prices are based on using my antler supply. If customer supplies there own antlers there looking at half the price!

Alright, wiring is complete and chain is balanced out! One thing I will need to do is go and pick up some heavier guage chain!!!! Now it's time to shape and custom fit the light sockets! More pics to come.
