I've cut lots of antler on my bandsaw, and it is awful hard on the blade, dulling it quick. What I do is cut a bunch just before I decide to scrap the old blade.

I cut mine on my miter saw.  I hold the antler with a pair of channelocks.  Works good.

the reason i bought my bandsaw was for cutting horn for my composites,the stuff is extremely dense and you need a good sharp blade if you are doing precise stuff.For cutting horn lams for the composites i prefer a sharp new blade with plenty of tpi as I can cut more precisely.I would definately invest in the better blades if you plan on cutting horn and antler a lot and it does slip if you re not careful.

Yep, antler is sure hard on the blade. I keep a few old blades around for cutting the stuff. .........Art
