After many years of just selling my antler sheds, I have begun to make lamps and chandeliers. I have some questions. What kind of product do I use to fill the holes and screw heads with? I have heard of (epoxy sculpt), and do I bother with the colors brown or black to mix and match, or do I just use white or cream and add color later? Which brings me to how to color this product or similar products? I have heard of antler stain, wood stain or paint. Finally, how do I drill through the inner honeycomb of the antler to run wires? Do they make a drill-bit that will flex and follow the softer inside of the antler? Any other tips? Thank you Darren Smith, Spokane, WA

Two answers would be wood filler from hardware store comes in diff colors used to cover screws in fine cabinets; I never herd of a flex drill bit. You would have to drill all the straight shots hoping to intersect the other bore and plug/fill the ends. I have never done something like this other than fix cabinets w/that filler.
