Just in the mood to post another one I guess! lol... I just finished this one up.. actually had a young fella suggest it quite a while back.. it kind of stuck in the back of my mind so I had to see how it would look. The barrel is Hippo tooth Ivory. I "scrim'd" the accent lines in.. cut a grove then pen 'em in with India Ink. The tone-board is from Buffalo Horn... o-ring fitted in my usual style. I wondered what ya'll thought of the combo?
Just to be honest, the Ivory kind of takes my breath away.... really pretty stuff... going to have to have a knife made with ivory handles.

Sure is a fine looking call Brad. We brought some elephant ivory back with us when we left the Congo. It's all been carved into different figurines and such. How big of a piece would you need to make me one of those? Maybe I can talk the wife into letting me send you something to whittle on. Also have an elephant tusk, not very big. It was from a cow on a cull hunt.
Thank you John!
You have my attention on the Ivory! That would be a fun as heck project! I'll shoot you a pm.
Absolutely stunning!
Question..... are you currently selling/taking orders? I'd love to get a call or two and take them to Zimbabwe next year to try and call in a hyena or jackal.
Fine looking call - as always!

Very nice ! I like the combo and the lines.
Thanks guys! Fos I'd love to see one of my calls hung over a hyena.. just hate those suckers.. ugly as (L) ain't they!
I thinks its freak'n awesome, and agree with your young feller. I thought the two would look great together. Can you imagine a set open and closed reed made like that!!!!!!!!!! :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:
Beautiful call Brad. :congrats: :congrats: I really like the contrast of the black on white. :yoyo: :yoyo:
