Whitetail Deer Antler Shed Magnet – Pewter Fridge Magnet, Made in USA

The Whitetail Deer Antler, often simply called "Shed", "Deer Antler" or "Buck Antler," is a revered natural wonder celebrated for its grace and symbolism. These majestic antlers, grown primarily by male White-tailed Deer, are a testament to the cycle of life and renewal in the animal kingdom. White-tailed Deer, often nicknamed "Whitetails" or "Bucks," are native to North and South America. They are known for their distinctive white tails and graceful bounding gait. Each year, male Whitetail Deer regrow their antlers, shedding the old ones to make way for new, larger growth. These antlers, comprised of bone-like tissue, can span up to several feet and are adorned with branching tines. They serve various purposes, from attracting mates to establishing dominance among males during mating season. The shedding of antlers is a natural process, with each new set typically larger and more intricate than the last. Deer Antlers are not only an essential part of Whitetail Deer biology but also hold cultural significance, symbolizing strength, regeneration, and the cycle of life in various traditions.

Craft & construction

Powerful magnets that actually hold. Our magnet strengths have a pull rating of at least 3 lbs, and go up to 7 lbs for larger pieces. These are not the cheaper ferrite/ceramic magnets. They are high quality neodymium and pack enough pull-strength to grip firmly and hold to a refrigerator with more than a single sheet of paper or photo between. Our magnets are bonded in our studio by an artisan with an industrial-strength adhesive to ensure they never come loose.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
