    Custom Black Bear Claw Kilt Pin

    Hey gang,

    Is there anyone out there who could make me a kilt pin involving black bear claws? I'm still thinking about designs.

    I made some mock bear claws out of bone and glued a loop of guitar wire in a small hole drilled in the top, then put them on a Kilt pin.
    Just an idea you could do yourself?

    Some of the vendors who deal in Native American craft supplies sell very realistic looking bear claws, as well as other items such as raptor talons, cast from resin.
    I think a grizzly claw would make an impressive kilt pin.
    All skill and effort is to no avail when an angel pees down your drones.

    I actually already have 3 real black bear claws, just trying to think how I might design a pin from them. Legba - do you have pics?

    I realize that you already have your bear claws, but for those who desire the real thing (as opposed to imitation), you might want to take a peek here.
