<div><br></div><div>James, if I understood correctly you are planing on having the entire antler engraved, not just a cut section from an antler. Depending on the size I think you are pretty much out of luck with the Epilog in the lab as all the options I am thinking of will require the hood to be open and the safety features will forbid any laser operation in that state.</div>

<br></div><div>Henri if you like I can bring you a sample piece of deer antler from what we have, something like a finger sized cylinder.
