what have you made from big game parts?

[John Y Cannuck]

Not being very skilled at that sort of thing, I have only managed one so far.
We were camping in the north side of Algonquin park. We forgot to bring an egg fliper (canoe trip 14 days). This makes turning flap jacks, not to mention eggs a tad difficult. I found, and slimmed down a moose shoulder blade that did the trick. I still have it, hangs in the corner of my living room as a reminder of that trip.

Well, I don't actually have them yet, buy my dad is supposed to making my wife some earrings from the ivories a five point bull elk I killed last fall.  We also have and use several throws made from the hides of an axis deer, a bluckbuck antelope, and an oryx that the wife and I have killed.  Sorry, nothing overly exotic.

Well, I've got a ring a friend who's a goldsmith made for me before he passed away. It's got a bugler (ivory tooth) from my best elk bull in it. I also get a bunch of elkskin gloves made from the skins of the elk I take. They're tough yet supple. The latest is a fringed and beaded shirt made for me by a friend on the res. Very little goes to waste. RKBA!

I made a handle for a short ceramic sharpening stick from a whitetail antler.  Cut it to length, drilled a hole for the stick and polished the ends.  Looks good and saves my hands!

After cutting all the meat off, I broke all the long bones and ribs and threw everything into a pot.  Boiled it down to a paste and then dried that.  It's a very old reciepe called "Pocket Soup"  You can thow this into a pot of boiling water and reconstitute it, or chew on a small piece as jerky. Lasts forever when dry.
Made mocs and leggings this year from the skins.  Made rawhide before also.  
Have also made knife handles, ball starters for my muzzleloader, bolo tie slides, and belt buckles.
Hope this helps!

My Boy Scouts once cut antler tips into small 1/2 to 3/4 wide pieces and then we drilled them out to make rings.  Then they did some scrimshaw designs on the outsides.

Small antler ends also make good letter opener handles.

The scouts also one time made Native American bone fish hooks.

I've made a predator call from the tine of a moose antler and a powder measure for my black powder rifle.

I have a few hides that I need to figure out what to make out of them. 2 Elk (fur on) 1 Elk suede (like buckskin) and a bear with head and claws.  I also carry a small Elk tip on my keychain with my name carved on it, looks like one of those Italian horns.

i've seen cribbage boards made from moose antlers. then there's the usaul knife handles from antlers. i want to make a chandiler like in the cabelas catalogue but use real antlers!

[Horsefeathers]

I made knife handles from a deers leg bone. Boil them clean.Let them dry a long time (or they will crack and split.) Polish them on a cotton buffing wheel with polishing compound.They will polish up and look great.Insert the knife tang in the smaller end and fill with epoxy. Cap the butt end. .  There iis a joke I once heard about a piccalo and a harmonica but its not for publication. Cheers.  Horsefeathers.

[John Y Cannuck]

I never figured it was strong enough. Did you fill it with epoxy or glass?

Both dad and I made powder measures from the tines of a moose antler. In addition , I have some moose hide that I made into a breech clout for the rendezvous thing.
