The pieces on this page are all made of deer antler, which I worked in extensively. These are just a few
examples of the many many pieces I made over the years I lived in Aspen. The golden
color of many of the pieces is achieved by burning the antler with a soldering torch. Deer shed their
antler once a year, and I would find my antlers while hiking in the hills & mountains around the Roaring
Fork Valley.

The center pendant of this Antler necklace was made from
the base, or but piece of the antler, right next to the skull.
The pointed pieces with the heart inlays are from the very
tips of the antler. The beads are made from the outer
layers of the antler, which is the hardest part of the antler.
