    Question Can anyone make tiny wolves for charm bracelets?

    I am trying to find someone who can make mini carved wolves for charm bracelets. They need to measure about 25 millimeters long and about half that wide. If you are interested or know of anyone who does that sort of carving please contact me. I can email photos of some wolf charms for you to see what I need. Any help would be appreciated.

    what would help is a ballpark cost thats in your price say 20/30or 50/100 or more, small objects take time and skill to make if you want something that looks good

    It might be worthwhile posting this in the CNC forum.

    Schaf and Springwater certainly have the skills to do what you want. IMHO they should charge $100+ though. If that is not what you are after, machine is the way to go.

    notdumbblonde,

    I might be interested in trying something like this, but I have a few commitments that will keep me busy until Christmas. Do you have any details on how many you are after, when you want to take delivery, is it likely to be a one off, or are you looking at a longer term supply?

    As I am currently only testing my skills, I am charging about $25 per item for something about the size you have suggested. The true cost is probably closer to $100 per item, if I was charging for the time taken to produce such an item.

    How to do you want the wolf to be attached to the bracelet? Are you wanting to insert a small metal eyelet into the timber, or is the carving got a "ring" as part if it for attachment?

    I don't think either of you has a chance anyway, she did not post here or anywhere else since the first post. Maybe you are not alone and her forum name was also wishful thinking, who knows...
