[Jewelry making - Article 00169] - [Orchid] Elk Teeth

    Hi all, My neighbor has asked me to mount 2 elk's teeth such that
    they can be hung on leather cords; they will be worn by his 10-year
    old grandchildren. In the spirit of being a good neighbor, I said
    yes. Now I'm finding that the shape and taper of an elk's tooth is
    such that it is nearly impossible to make a decent looking bezel.
    So, my thought was to drill a hole and line it with a tube rivet.
    This could then be used to hold a bale for the cord. Does anyone has
    experience with drilling elk/animal teeth? They appear very hard,
    and since I only have one shot at this, I thought I'd ask for
    advice. 

Thanks,
Ron Pascho
