Very nice! The live edge on the cap is perfect. How big was the antler you used for the cap?

I used a 3/4 inch bit to hollow out the bottom - the antler was an irregular 1-1/4 to 1-3/8 at that point, about 4 inches from the bud end, above the first tine. The top of the acorn was the bud or joint end of the antler (the antler was a natural drop) and is approximately 2 inches diameter.

Of course.
