What did you use for the eye?
i did not understand your question..sorry....but iff u ask aboute that litle piece or horn....well its cow horn.... the rest its only cord....some stuff that its used in leather stitching...
-
I was asking about the eye... the loop at the top of the wood that the brade goes through. Is it made of the same material as the braid or is some sore of metal eye?

very cool. i might have to finally do something with all the claws i have and my arrowhead. akila have you ever made arrowheads from antler? if so i take it you have to carefully select a big enough piece to avoid the pith right?

No i never m ade one form antler.....but yess...i think u are right...u need a big piece of antler....

walkabout, I've made them from the paddles on moose and caribou antlers. They are thick and you don't have to get in the pithy part.

That's one purdy pendant. :o Really like the braid and arrowhead style. The back latch is also unique.
FINE JOB

Absolutely beautiful pendant you made, Akila. Ove the lines of the head and the detail all round.
Maybe you coul post a build along describing the way to do that braid?
