MinWax dark Walnut stain. Rub it on, let it sit a few minutes and then buff it off with a soft cloth. About as natural looking as I've seen.

Dirty motor oil. Just rub it in and wipe it off.

You can search online and buy antler stains that work really well. I would experiment on some other ones first. But some of the ones listed above work well also. Post some pics.

Stain, I have even heard where you can make the tips darker than the rest and It makes it lok really good. Some like the natural look, I prefer the dark look with bleached out skull
