Make antler buttons - PEM BB traditional.straw.antlerbuttons

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw badge in Traditional Skills.

We often take things like zippers, snaps and velcro for granted.  A common fastener in the olden days was buttons.  Let's make some!

 
 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Make 8 buttons from antlers
  - At least 2 holes per button
  - Somewhat smooth
  - This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Antler you're starting with
  - Cutting antler into pieces
  - Drilling holes for thread
  - Finished buttons
