Knifemaking question: Antler handle/concealed tang?

Does anyone have suggestions for how to fit an antler grip to a knife covering the entire tang? I figured most do it by drilling but is there an easier way for someone who's never tried it before?

Read that some people have successfully boiled the antler until the spongy bone in the center gets softer and the tang can just be pushed right through; anyone able to chime in on that one?
