I wanted to give my g/f a bear claw necklace like the one I wear, but I didn't feel like cutting off any more claws from my rug. Wound up emailing an old dude in MT who said he had a couple "very old bear claws" that belonged to his dad that I could have for free.

Got them today; problem is, they're not Black Bear claws, they're Grizzly Bear claws (one fore-claw and a rear claw), which means that they're f'ing huge- way too big for her to wear.



Does anyone have any creative ideas as to what I can do with these?

I see that ebay sells "replica" resin cast Grizzly claws, so I would assume that if they're desirable enough to replicate, the originals would at least be desirable enough to make something cool out of.

The only one that looks griz is the thin one.  No way the other two are griz; they are black bear.
