good info , I dont turn but good to see the process. I have wanted to ask where to get ivory and cow horn cheap . u guys seem to have way of getting alot of that , i do have six raw buffalo horns got free from a farm close to here. that looks sharp

... Ivory isn't cheap... to be honest my hands got to shaking a few times and I had to quit. lol I've turned what most folks consider high dollar burls... the Ivory blows any burl away. I payed $125 for the last tooth I found... believe me it's hard to find.. (I've been on 1 waiting list for over a year now).

Nice tutorial Brad. That stuff is soooo cool the way the light shines thru it.

FinsnFur · December 05, 2010, 07:52:19 AM

That is insanely cool Brad. I gotta say that IF I had a piece, you be the only one I'd want turning it.

The accent rings ............ are basically scrimmed in, a light indention, and penned in with India ink.

That's kinda cheaten; ain't it?

Amazing work... simply amazing!!!

Yotehntr · December 05, 2010, 11:20:33 AM

Thank you for the compliments guys! The stuff really is amazing, I've worked it in smaller pieces (beads and toneboards) this just seemed tougher than I remember it being before.

LOL Nope Barry, I don't have a hippo tag.... but if you're real quick, they yawn a lot.

I think you missed something on that quote VV...

Actually drilling it is when it got hot... well tried to... I took it extremely slow... drill a little go inside, then repeat. lol I probably over compensated, just nervous I reckon.
