Yes.

One of the prettiest you've made?
That is a huge statement

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.

ZOWEEEE! I like it!

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!

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.

Again Brad another beauty.

Thanks feller's! I've got 1 more to go now...actually just have to make another toneboard... smaller tusk though may be a challenge!

Todd Rahm · December 07, 2009, 11:42:49 AM

timbertoes · December 07, 2009, 04:47:22 PM

Yotehntr · December 07, 2009, 06:48:05 PM

I was talking about for the toneboard Todd! The boar tusks are pretty easy to find...expensive as heck but they're out there.

Thanks timber... I kept some of the ivory shavings...
