You can drill a few small holes into the broken end of the beam , use wires to reform the shape of the missing piece ( use the good end as reference ) , use apoxy sculpt to rough in the antler , sand to shape . stain or paint to blend color . If you have the broken piece , you can pin it back on and use the apoxy sculpt to smooth over the repair . http://www.whitetailsystems.com/AntlerRepair.html
Here is a good site for you to look at for better instructions . Copy and Paste . Good luck Bradlee
