One day while fishing a small creek, I spotted a strange, small object in the water. I picked it up and determined it to be a beaver's tooth, and I stuck it in my pocket and went on.. A few weeks later while fishing on the same creek, I came upon the matching half of the tooth I had found earlier. When I got home I looked at both teeth together and thought to my self, "what better way to class up your ears than to hang rodent teeth from them" and I have been making Beaver Teeth Earrings ever since. I now go to my friend who traps beavers to get the teeth.
Photo 1First take the beaver teeth and give them a nice light sanding to remove dirt & stains, then figure out the how long you want your earrings and then make your cut.

I like to cut at a angle to allow for better hanging presentation

Now I apply two coats of polyurethane and allow a day of drying for each coat

While waiting on the teeth to dry I pick out a cap for the teeth. I have chosen acorn caps for this set.
