Ok, so my grouo used advanced race builder to create pc's and one of my players obviously modeled his character off of wolverine.
Hes been doing a great job role playing and want to reward it...other characters have been getting magic items and weapons relevant to class and proficiencys.
Question....to encourage his 'wolverineish'i was trying to think of a magic item or way to enhance his natural claws to make his bone structure metal.
Like a suit of armor that magically absorbs into the pc's body and fleshwraps itself to his bones?
And how would that affect his pc? DR? Fortification?
Any advice would be great.

I can't think of an answer to that question specifically, but when I think of wolverine I always think of his fast healing ability. There are several versions of the pearly white spindol ioun stone that grant regeneration. I think the cracked version is less than 4K so that isn't too pricey of a magic item to throw at a player and it fits his character concept. After all wolverine had fast healing before he had metal claws.

A little more information as to how he is built would help in the answer.
To be honest, it's not out of the question for him to receive attachments to his claw attacks; there are Tail Attachment Manufactured Weapons that can give extra things such as Reach or Trip, etc., I'm sure a similar thing can be done with the claws he has, which can be expanded later down the road to be Adamantine (Adamantium), making his weapon count as Adamantine (Adamantium) for the purposes of overcoming DR, etc.
Another idea would be to give him an Amulet of Mighty Fists to enhance how he sees fit. To be honest, I'm surprised he hasn't tried doing Improved Unarmed Strike in addition to his Two Claw Attacks.

So, in the end - his PC was made with Fast Healing 2. Natural claws, scent ability.
In our last session I hade him beaten to negatives and taken prisoner - drow were going to use him as a pit fighter for their house. When he woke he had been flesh wrapped and bone wrapped to enhance his abilities.
His natural claws were now covered in adamantine which now can bypass hardness when sundering weapons or attacking objects, ignoring hardness less than 20, as well as allowing him to magically enhance them as he wants (once he escapes)
His skeleton is also covered in adamantine granting him damage reduction 3/— and gave light fortification as it covers his vital organs and allows him to magically enhance it as armor.
Might not be the best conversion of wolverine, but I added the other players treasure values and it is equivalent in gold value - not to mention he went through the roof in excitement. lol
