Has anyone ever made their significant other a ring from the antler of a deer? If so, show me pics please and describe it.

My dad made one.  It was shaped just like a mens wedding band.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I've made a few but don't have pics.  I will say to go narrow and as tight as possible.  They have a habit of sliding off when washing your hands.

I have seen them in our museum gift shop - there is apisr of elk antler earrings now that are holled out antler.  Usually the outside is snaded white and etched and the etching is inked. I will try to get some pics of those for you tomorrow.

Here are a few I made for myself and my fiance.  Mine were elk antler, her monsterous size six was whitetail and I made her one from osage.
