Yes. :yoyo: :yoyo:
One of the prettiest you've made?
That is a huge statement :huh: And how can you possibly tell, with all the amazing pieces of art you've shown us I'd say it's a pretty (theres that word again) race.
Awesome job on that by the way.
Brad
I am not so sure he will like,but I know I do :eyebrow: This call Is certainly a piece of Eye Candy :yoyo: :yoyo: Very nice job
:bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie: Awesome job!!!! :yoyo: :yoyo: :yoyo:
ZOWEEEE! I like it! :biggrin:
Thanks for the comments guys! Jim I think its the material on this one, can't get the translucence of the ivory bead in the pic. That is some very interesting and nerve racking (cause I'm a cheap azz) stuff to work with. The hippo ivory with it's characteristic cracks, while I was cutting the bead I kept having thoughts of it catching and blowing up in my face! Then the way the Warthog tooth was hollow so far up... I took some pics of it. Heck I even had to play dentist if you look at the ramp there's a bad spot in the ivory... this ain't a piece of antler that I can just pitch in the trash and grab another! I glued (CA) and sanded about 20 coats until it was smooth! Then cut the air channel! :laf: Yeah I know patience grasshopper!

The ivory does have a different look to it and this is a fantastic call for sure. I'm 100% sure he'll love it, and well, if he don't......send him my address. :biggrin:
