MOOSE NUGGETS!
![]()
At my cabin there are quite a few moose, not to mention bears, deer and elk. The moose leave their calling cards all over the yard. A great resource for the person inclined to crafts. I read on one website that people even make paper out of these things; no idea how, but if you want UNvarnished ones to try that, I can supply those too. I've collected some, dried and varnished them. Here is a picture of a few; the pencil and house-key are there to show relative size of the nuggets.

These are nicely varnished. There is NO smell at all. They were very well-dried before they were varnished.
You may have seen these used in EARRINGS and sold on Ebay. I have, frequently.![]()
I had planned to bottle them with labels such as this. The label is ready to be printed and stuck on your own bottles. The "R" should have a line through the right leg, to suggest a prescription.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a supplier of bottles. This means I'll just sell the nuggets in bulk.
People are making (and selling) all kinds of neat things with Moose Nuggets: jewelry, "insects" etc. Check out these websites for ideas:

and also Ebay.
If you would like to give it a try, I'll send you 20 of them (varnished) for $10, postage included. I would really like to hear back from you about what you made with them; maybe you can put up a picture of it on your website? Will you let me put your name on the page, with the picture of your creation?
