Finally got around to working on this today!!  I had the taxidermist pull the claws from one front paw for this project.

Step 1was to clean up the bone on the claws. I started with a fine wire wheel on a cordless drill, then sandpaper, then some 40 volume peroxide paste!





You can get all the Pony Beads, brass, and Pipe Bone from Crazy Crow, but if you're near Cody, WY, stop in the H&B Trading Post, they have it all!!

Then I stained the snow white pipe bone in a pan of hot tea!!!



And then strung it all together on some small cord!!!

On the bear hair...



And the hide side...

Where did you get the beads?
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

You can get them at a number of places, I posted two links early on!!  The red Pony Beads are the real deal, all the way from Czech!!
