Antler, Bone, Horn & Hide: Projects You Can Make at Home by Monte Burch presents a wide selection of over seventy-five hands-on craft projects using natural materials like antler, bone, horn, hide and feather.

The book begins by discussing the sourcing and preparation of these materials—how to safely harvest, clean, work with and preserve antlers, bones, horns and hides. From there it moves into detailed step-by-step instructions for items you can create at home: for example knife handles from antler, horn mugs, bone inlays, hide pouches or feather decorations. Each project includes clear photographs, material lists, tool recommendations and finishing techniques.

Alongside the how-to content, the author provides insight into the properties of each material (strength, grain, natural coloration), and encourages a respectful, sustainable use of wildlife by-products. The tone is accessible—not overly academic—making it suitable for both hobbyists seeking new creative outlets and small-scale artisans looking to expand their repertoire.
