I would love to use some of your beads in the necklace. I know you simply offered them "with no strings attached", but I'd sure like to send you some claws in exchange. PM me your address please! :cool:

Whip - Just saw some work a guy did with braintan deer, he used basswood seeds with the center drilled out for beads on his fringe, looks great, looks real traditional. He also had some 'aborted' acorns, the ones that never develop a husk/nut - a very small cap that never opened up. Small round disks of birch bark, several together, might be interesting as well.

Although the ant farm works good but not always around when needed I've used my kids.He lost his mind when he came home from school.
I've do mine like this.After taking as much meat off as possable.Put them in a pan of boiling water after an 1/2 hour or so let them cool if theres a little meat etc.Scrape boil again scrap if needed.
Cool put in a cup of Hydrogen Perixide stur when ever you go by a few days or untill clean wash off.Drill holes.Looks nice on quivers I've put one on the end of string you tied your leather handle on with.
But ants do a quick good job.

Have to put that on your list for your North American trip Al!
Here is kind of what I have in mind. I have an elk ivory that I would use as the center pendant.
And another. It looks to me like some sort of filler was used to cap off the bone on these.

Joe I did a few elk ivories myself by grinding a bit of the root off.Then rilled a small hole and inserted some fine SS wire then mixed some epoxy with white pigment and filled the tooth.Its kind of a cheapish way to do them.bowdoc

Instead of boiling them just put in the microwave for 30 seconds and they fall off the bone. If you want you can then you can peroxide or bleach just the bone. The microwave works good for Antelope horns also.I got an old one in the garage.
