Title: Open Reed Predator Calls Ivory and Antler
Post by: ninthinning on July 05, 2007, 08:49:58 AM
Here is a selection of ivory warthog tusks I have been working on.  Any ivory call is $75.  No charge for the scrimshaw since it is practice.  These are the toughest calls I have ever made.  The ivory is hard and doesn't chip easily.  These are rough calls made to go hunting.  When I erase a scrimshaw it takes a long time to sand off clean. Very tough stuff these warthog tusks are. Guests are not allowed to view images in posts, please Register or Login

Also for sale are three large deer antler predator calls $35 each.  These are versatile but shine as little howlers.

I have made a few of the ivory tone boards double reeds.  The double reed set up is inspired by Krusty.  I bought one of his calls a couple weeks ago and was amazed at the great sound a double reed makes.  I e-mailed Krusty and he was very modest about introducing the double reed to open reed predator calls.  Is Krusty the first to make double reed open reed predator calls?

Bear call is Krusty inspired double reed.

Eric,

I guess all the practice is paying off.  The scrimshaw looks great.

vvarmitr,  I liked scrimshawing the ones with ladies but my wife doesn't like them.  She says I should stick to the predators.
keekee,  Have you ever seen a double reed open reed besides Krusty's?  Damn fine to be able to write the word damn.
HaMeR,  That was made from a huge 10" tusk.  Its an excellent jack rabbit and does a good mallard duck.
HuntnCarve, You and seeinspots are my inspiration.  My work is real clumsy now but I see real potential in a few years. 
Hawks Feather,  Thanks, did you ever find any of the beaver skinning knife blades?
WhiteHare,  I figure I'll be practicing for a long time, so no charge for the practice work.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Hey, I got an idea! :wo:

Grind off that kitty cat  & put a Gibson girl in a thong bikini on it.  :thumb2:  ;yes;

Like the Gibson Girl art work. :wink:
