I finished another Hippo Ivory call today... I have it posted on some other sites but don't know how/where or if it's even ok to put it up for sale here...? Sure don't want to break any rules so I'll just show it here. If someone would let me know I'd appreciate it though. It's a Hippo Ivory barrel, followed with a Buffalo Horn mouth piece (with a ivory insert) both pieces are carrying my ca finish inside and out, buffed and polished to a very high gloss. It is signed, and dated inside the barrel under the finish.
The tip of a Hippo tooth, cutting it on the bandsaw... I keep junk blades for this... it dulls 'em right off.
Here I've turned it round, and drilled it out for the mouth piece... the bead is cut in too.
Finish is on, I cut a slight indention, and pen in the accent line with India ink. It's sitting on the buffing wheel.
I still get a charge out of something this tough being see through with a 60 watt bulb.
Just finishe cutting and sanding the mouth piece... used a little polish and put some oil on... getting ready to put the finish on.
