Yup, it's darn-tootin' elk.
The client hangs the blades on the front of his rustic bar.
Each sawblade is 12" to 14" in diameter.
Three old saw blades, probably from a lumber mill, cleaned up and powder-coated in preparation for their latest incarnation as decoration for a rustic bar. The client wanted Western scenes, which seems entirely appropriate.
I thought this was unusual until I saw similar ones in small towns' watering holes in eastern Oregon and Nevada.
