Elk Ivories thoughts

A few years ago I asked what people did with their elk ivories. This is what I came up with this week.

Very nice! You'll have a lot of memories there!

Nice! I have a ring and Connie a pendant that we had made with ours.

I have a few laying around that I need to get something done with.

I had my wife a pair of ear rings and a necklace made of some of mine, they turned out beautiful, she likes to wear them on special occasions. I really like your idea with the arrowhead, good job! I'm always looking for ways to use mine.

Very nice. I had a jeweler make a ring for each of my two daughters.

Ferret, did you cast the arrow head? Really nice.

FerretWYO · December 23, 2015, 02:21:00 PM

I essentially carve the arrowheads

Thanks you all. Hope to be able to make few for fellow elk hunters.

That looks good Randy! I hope I have a longbow elk ivory some day to have to figure out what I'm gonna do with!

I like it! Mine sit around in a small box somewhere....not really even sure where.

An elk killer like you ought to have enough for one of those elk ivory dresses for your gal!

Very nice I like it.You think that might tarnish though the metals and have to keep polished up maybe?

They make a great shelf on a selfbow. Here are a couple of pics of a James Rempp Yew selfbow.

Really nice..........

One I made for a guy about 10 years ago. Buffalo horn scales with the elk ivory inset into the handle.

Very nice, Randy. With all of the elk you've put on the ground, this could become a business venture.
A friend's recent custom engagement ring had an elk ivory instead of a diamond. They're both very outdoorsy people and she was happy as heck with the way it turned out.
