![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2020/09/full-1790-61894-bear_claw_first_build.jpg) This was my first build of my 20 Brown bear claws ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I Just didn't like how the upper claws on the necklace spun forward when worn. But in researching how others were made as to not do this, most were double drilled which I didn't want to do to the claws. I thought for a long time on how to fix the issue and Not drill through the claws twice. Here's my Second build with many different beads . ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2020/09/full-1790-61901-bear_claw_neck_l..jpg) --------------------‐‐------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I glued in a small wire loop into the back of each claw to allow for the second bead strand

Looks good, Scott. That thing must weigh a ton though.  Charlie

I like the 375 H&H empty but love the DHC-2 shirt!
I have nothing clever to put here.

Are the beads antique. I know you like the old ones. Looks great!!
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Scott, I didn't know you were into old beads. Here's a picture of some from my collection. I'm kind of sentimentally attached to the old white hearts, but if you ever need any cobalt blue, wound glass beads that are well over a hundred years old let me know. Holy Cow Mark!!! I mean Dad Glad I'm in your Will  Yes! I'm always looking for Old glass beads. I mostly find the old ones on Western vacations.

^^^^^ On their way as soon as I can get to the post office. You will notice one strand of micro white hearts they could well be the oldest beads in the bunch possibly 1700s.
