I found a lot of caribou antlers while working in Alaska. However, my only choice of getting them home was to cut them up. Some are in 3 pieces per side. How can seamlessly piece them back together. Also, many are grass (or tundra) stained. Is sanding acceptable? Is airbrushing the only way?

Drill the ends of each piece in the center, put in a piece of heavy duty wire or steel rod with smooth out or another maybe faster setting epoxy. Squeeze the 2 pieces together straight to dry.
As for the grass stain, use 409 or a bleach cleaner(for counter tops or bathrooms) even put alittle pure bleach on it then wipe it off, one stain at a time. Should come right off. I personally wouldn't sand them to take off a stain.
Hope that helps.
Learned this from Mom cleaning my grass stained jeans. Use a detergent and COLD water for grass stains. Michelle is on the money about the repairs. When glue dries, fill seam with apoxi sculpt and smooth. Stain. No problem.
