I blew up  a mold- had left it out overnight... and the next day tried to cast some lead.... mold literally blew apart- both halves ended up 5 feet apart... and the lead was in the middle.

Red hot is like 1400 degreees F, right? i can hit orangeish with a wood fire. Should be easy to heat some rocks to 600-700.

After I wrote that I got to thinking about a better way to dry/harden the antler:  put them in my food dehydrator!  I'm going to do that tonight.

Of course, you can always try to heat up the rocks and drip water on them.   >:D  Can you believe I still get people who claim that is a legitimate way to knap?

My wife actually asked me about that brcause she read that in a Tarzan novel.  I busted out laughing.
