bowtarist:
That's cool. Are those his hooves at the bottom? I've. Ever seen that done before. I keep hooves too, just never used them for anything. Nice work. dpg

BowEd:
I tried to use all available parts to display on this old boy.Many times I've seen hollow deer hooves and dew claws used as wind chime type displays hanging from the apex of poles from above in teepees.They make a nice noise hollow clunking type noise of different tones when the wind blows on them.

Zuma:
I have skinned elk hooves. I researched what to do with them.
Some boil them and hammer slightly curved and make breast plates.
Of course glue is an option, I suppose. Knife handles from the fore legs.
Tails are easy to cure and tons of things can be done with them. :-D )P(

BowEd:
I've never heard of hoof glue really with hooves being made of keratin.Breast plates out of hair bone is a lot of work.Tails I've never had much use for.I have made pouches out of deer fore leg skins.Fore leg bone knife handles too.Elk could be used too I imagine.The list of useful things are endless it seems.No research really.Just tanned/carved/or sanded them and made use of them.
Some more pics but not actual parts from the deer posted.All tributes really too to the useful gifts these deer can give us.
I like seeing the different things people come up with.
