John you can make key rings and I have made a few earrings
and light pulls. Hope this helps. I could not find photos of the earrings.

This is a pen stand that I made with some of my scraps and a piece of Cedar. You can also put one on each end, I have done that as well, they make a good combo sale. Russell

I made a bunch of ear rings fro the women folk for Christmas. I sliced dime sized pieces and used the dremel and cut crosses and other designs in them. You can buy the ear ring hooks and wire at hobby lobby. Inch long tips make good ones to. With the burls, I carve crosses or deer/ turkey tracks and make choker necklaces out of them

Thanks Russel,thats a good idea too.I had thought about putting a pen holder in a large sized butt section off a big antler,but had not thought about using the small forks.Everyone has GREAT ideas and I'm grateful. John
