Mostly antler

 

I grabbed some time over the last couple of days to cut up a piece of antler to make a few pair of antler earrings; and one pair of bone earrings.

As you can see from the opening photo and the following one they have turned out well.

Some process photos follow. As you can see from the first photo the antler looks pretty rough before it is ground and polished.

Fiona and I had a discussion about which side of the antler material should face the front. In the main I have gone with the external section of the antler facing forward. But check out the photos below to see what you think - the first is with the external section forward and the second is the internal section of the antler.

These earrings will be heading to Scotland.
