Beautiful piece there Dennis! Would you like me to whip up the talon for you to get an idea of whether yours would work or not? What is the size of it?
size? see, this is yet another reason i don't do crafts. i just now held it up to a Reo and it's only slightly smaller than the door. shoulda tried that before i posted. sigh...
if, after your safe return from the sandbox, i find something more suitable in my remaining Navajo and Hopi collection, i'll send it to ya
yeah. the claw I have is pretty huge too. I'm thinking I will affix it to the leather w/ an arrowhead-style wrap. Maybe that'll be my project for tomorrow afternoon.
Talon is done. Tried a closed bottom on this one.
The talon is incorporated into the lacing on the back.
Who wants it?

Master of Bassets...and not much else.
you'll probably have it by Monday, but it may be delayed due to the volume of holiday mail moving around right now.
I'm yo' huckleberry....Say Whaaaa!....does it include the chal.....
addit: My ancestors were Neanderthals is reason it caught my eye and it would match my dibby door.

Veeerrrry fine piece, D. Great detail work. I had a collection going...way back when. Sold it all when I got married many moons ago. Wish I hadn't.
coulda been worse, Tree. my first wedding ring was a matched Hopi set.
divorced 30+ years and i now hear she still occasionally opines that it wasn't diamonds

Hrumph! Diamonds are cool....I guess. But personally I'm partial to the hand made native american stuff (and other stuff). Different strokes, eh.
i used to have a pretty extensive collection of "old pawn", but have given most of it away over the years.
now, i just collect that "other stuff". Woodvils...
My wedding ring is a simple (cheap) white gold band. I insisted on the white gold at the time because I had just finished reading Stephen R. Donaldson's "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" trilogy. In the books, the white gold contains the wild magic that destroys peace. So I got that going for me On a side note, I'm no longer allowed to wear it to work as the wife has heard too many stories of guys getting their finger ripped off by wedding rings catching on railroad cars.

Guy I wheel with has a tattoo under his band, so even when he takes it off he's still wearing a wedding band.
Hey bearded tree man guy wood hair person! Rough day at work today + ice storm.
Gonna drop the talon in the mail tomorrow for you.

No rush my knuckle dragging friend. I know how hectic it can be in a day in the life of a primate.
My brother does leather work and over Xmas he's bringing his goodies over to my house. I think I'm going to hork some of his tools and try a few things. Getting him to do anything like that for me is like trying to grow hair on a glass of water. It won't be a true horking because whatever I take I'll pay him to replace. I'm thinking something folded over butted together and a baseball stitch to close it.
