A Deer Antler Chandelier Can Set The Mood
Jake on 01 Dec 2009
A deer antler chandelier can create a great atmosphere in any room. It makes a statement while still giving a soft glow and romantic light that can be enjoyed by everyone. If you are looking for a lighting source and you feel a deer antler chandelier could be a great addition to your room there are many places you can purchase a chandelier and there are even kits available to make your own.
If you or someone you know is good with their hands it can be a good challenge to get a kit and make your 
own. This is not a project for the beginning handyman, but it can provide a great opportunity to use those antlers you or your loved ones have been saving. All of the chandeliers make great conversations pieces, even the ones you don’t make yourself. For the professionally done chandelier there are several web sites you can go to that have a wide selection and they can be shipped easily.
Cdnantler.com was hundreds of available chandeliers and is willing to custom make one if you want. Another good site to try is antlerchandelier.org. Logcabinhomedecor.com also has a wide selection. Most of the sites available have chandeliers made from real and cast antlers. Both of these types are safe and UL approved. The main difference is the weight. The real antlers are heavier and need good support to hold them up. The cast antlers weigh a lot less and are easier to hang. Don’t forget that you can sometimes find used antler chandeliers. Remember to check the wiring, but it might just be the bargain of a lifetime! 
If you decide to use an antler chandelier you will need to know a little about antler grades. Grade 1 antlers are the best to use because they are shiny and free of cracks. They were probably only shed one to three months before they were discovered. Grade 2 antlers usually have a few cracks due to being left out in the elements for maybe a year or more. Grade 3 antlers have a lot more cracks, some holes and probably even chew marks. Grade 4 antlers have usually began to disengage along with the cracks and holes. Knowing the grades can allow you to pick the best chandelier and weed out the not so good ones when buying one. Visit deer antler chandeliers and wall sconce lights for more information.
