York Gum and Ivory

[Yotehntr]

Just finished this one up today, and thought I'd share some pics.. It's a York Gum burl barrel with a Hippo Ivory bead.  It is followed with a Hippo Ivory toneboard.  The York gum looks like camel candy to me!... don't taste like it though.. I tried it..     I cut a new section of Hippo Ivory for the bead... showing a couple pics of the process.
The Hippo tooth cut where it looked best to me:

I cut it close to diameter on the bandsaw... yeah I'm lazy huh?  LOL

Now I've turned it to dimension, and drilled it out...I don't get to use the whole piece as it's to thin on one side:

The final product!
