Elk Ivory Ideas

[Sytes]

The best man should always come prepared.....

The extravagance of the bachelor party has been known to nix a best man or few from the line-up.
Groom should always define alcohol requirements when his presence is "requested" for cake testing.

I had a pendant made out an elk ivory.

I asked a friend of mine, who was a jeweler, to make me a simple tie tack. He thought he owed me (he didn't, just did my job) so he made it in 14 carat, surrounded by diamonds and sapphires and gave it to me for free. Way too fancy for me, which of course I never told him. Passed it along to my SIL, who, wearing camo BDUs most of the time, enjoyed dressing up when not in uniform.

I know you said not jewelry, but I just got these in the mail today...

I stand on the shoulders of giants

 

[Bowildee]

I saved mine up for years and had belt buckles made for my groomsmen and I

That’s Awesome.

What do you do with all those Ivories? I saved most of them, but really don't know what to do.

I did make a set into decorations for a pocket watch fob and a "His and Hers" set of rings...

You could about make one of everything with all of those!

Here is the first glimpse of a custom set of Conchos from my UT bull. These will go on my horses bridle browband at the throatlatch keeper.

Just sell them, my antler buyer gives me $5-10 per ivory.

Shhh, I was going to ask him to mail them to me for disposal. Also your antler buyer is hosing you on prices

I know I’m really thinking outside the box here but I just glue mine back in the euro mounts.

Yeah mine pays 20/per


Ive got a jar full of my own and I've also got a jar full of ivories from my grandpa. Wish I knew the story for each set of his. Now that I think about it, whoever gets mine also has my hunting journal to go with it so they will know the stories for each and every set.

 

[Gut Shot]

Some I've done. You wouldn't have to turn them into jewelry.

Autumn does some great work, I’ve been meaning to send her my wife’s ivories

 

[noharleyyet]

Jr. had this made from one of his bulls for he and I . . .

[buffybr]

Other than jewlery, I've just glued most of mine on a plaque on the wall of my reloading room.

I write the year that I shot it and the number of antler points or cow or spike...

This isn't as creative as most on here, but this is what I have in my office.

They are worth up to $20 bucks apiece? mtmuley
