a. White Tail Deer antlers are very dense. They have a very sharp bend in them and are usually lighter in color. Chandeliers made with white tail will be very thick and heavy. We do not build very large chandeliers out of them and they become very expensive rather quickly. Average length is about 1 foot. North American Native.

 

b. Mule Deer antlers are the most common deer antlers you will see. They are brown in color. They have a slight curve in them, but are much straighter than white tail. Chandeliers can be built much larger in size with mule deer. This is the best all purpose antler to work with. Average length is about 2 foot. North American Native.

 

c. Fallow Deer antlers are a European import from Spain. They are very dark brown in color and are palmated. Many people think of them as small moose. Their deep rich color and flowing palmation make a very elegant piece. Average length is about 2.5 feet.

 

d. Elk antlers are another very common antler used for chandeliers. They are brownish red in color and are very long and straight. A large Elk antler can average around 5 feet long. Small Elk antler can be around 2.5 feet long. A great antler for large chandeliers. North American Native.

 

e. Moose antlers are also very dense. I have seen many carvings out of moose antler that have been polished up to look like ivory. Moose is naturally a dark brown antler and are very large. A large moose antler can be about 3 foot by 3 foot in size. This makes very large chandeliers. North American Native
