Pretty happy how these elk calls turned out. Customer request. He sent me the teeth. Bands are made from 18 gauge sterling silver.

Thanks man! I think I’d sell more if they weren’t so expensive. Haha. It’s more a sentimental heirloom thing. These sold for $175 each. I got quotes as high as $400 to make the bands for me. So $175 is the best I can do with my current jewelry maker.

But yeah, I think they came out awesome.

I just paid 350 for a necklace so 175 is not bad at all for custom work like that!!!

Thanks everyone! I had a band made from one of my dads bulls also. Going to be making myself a keeper call whenever I get some free time. :)

Those things are awesome! Thanks for sharing. You might have just got yourself in some trouble! People spend a fortune on dumb camo, why not buy an awesome custom elk call?

Awesome work @The100road ! Do you have a picture of the back of the band? Is the scene specific to a range?  Really cool pieces, are you able to offer this to more of us?

Thank you! I’ll post a picture of the back of the band shortly. The jeweler sent me a few options and I told her let’s go with something that resembles mountains. I think she nailed it. Customer also requested a matte finish on the bands but I think she can polish them and make shinny if we wanted.

Yes, I can make more. Send me a pm and we can work out the details. Thanks for the interest!

Really nice!

I've set Ivories into acrylic on knife handles, slightly limits the design possibilities, but they come out really cool.

(Just getting into tig welding so there might be stainless wire settings in the future too...)

I know I've done at least two, but I can't find the other one... It was awhile ago. Set this one in a perfect circle in the antler.
