Extra-Thick Axis Deer Antler Sheds | A/B-Grade Mix | 5 or 10 Pound Groups
Extra-thick Axis antlers are perfect for knife handles, jewelry making, carving, and other craft projects! These are sold in 5- and 10-pound groups and are hand-selected for unusually thick main beams.
Most Axis antlers are around 1" in diameter, and only occasionally do we find antlers approaching 1.5". This listing brings together the thickest Axis antlers in our inventory for customers who need more material to work with.
What to expect from these antlers: These antlers are a mix of A- and B-Grade quality. Most will still have some natural brown color remaining, but color will vary and some may have substantial white or sun-faded areas. Supply is limited, so we cannot offer an A-Grade-only selection in this listing. These antlers are selected primarily for thickness.
All antlers will be smooth to the touch, without chalky texture or surface cracking. Points will be mostly intact, but some antlers may have natural chips or slightly broken tips. We never send antlers with rodent chew marks.
All antlers are natural sheds, naturally dropped by the animal, with a natural burr. They are 100% free of added chemicals or stains.
How many antlers are in 5 pounds? Expect approximately 2 antlers in 5 pounds and 4–5 antlers in 10 pounds. These antlers are thicker and heavier than our standard by-the-pound Axis antlers, so fewer antlers are needed to fill the weight. Orders are sold by total weight; antler counts are approximate.
Antler Sizing: Antler lengths will vary and may include a mix of Medium through XXL sizes. For Axis antlers, these categories describe main beam length measured along the curve from the burr to the tip:
-
Medium: 18–22"
-
Large: 22–26"
-
Extra Large: 26–30"
-
XXL: 30–34"
See our Shop By Size Axis listings for more information. These antlers are selected for beam thickness, so each order’s mix of lengths will vary.
Main beams will measure approximately 1.25–1.5" in diameter, with circumferences generally ranging from 3.5–4.5".
These thickness measurements apply at ONE location only: approximately 4" above the burr. They do not describe the thickness of the entire main beam. Axis antlers naturally taper toward the tip, so expect the beam to become thinner farther along the antler. Antlers are not perfectly round, and all measurements are approximate.
You may request antlers measuring approximately 1.5" in diameter, but we cannot guarantee that size will be available. These are the least common and usually the first to sell. Approximately 1.5" is the largest Axis diameter we encounter and the maximum size offered through this listing; requests for larger diameters cannot be filled.
Special Requests:
All antlers are unique in size and shape, so we cannot guarantee special requests can be filled. We will do our best to select suitable antlers from available inventory. If your project requires a specific measurement, please contact us before purchasing to check availability.
Photos are stock images, but you will receive antlers similar to those shown. Color, shape, length, and thickness will vary.
We offer free shipping, but do not offer return shipping.
