Gorgeous stuff!  I don't think the prices came through, but if I had to put a price on them I would say priceless.

Beautiful calls Joe. I really like to contrast between the solid horn insert and the ivory wedge. My experience with Hippo ivory is that it is a "PITA" to work with. Being a tooth, the outside enamel is so hard it will make sparks. Wart hog ivory is also legal and does not turn yellow with age.

Calls are listed with prices on Facebook right now. Basically plastered Facebook with them. 2,3,4, and 5 are sold as of now.


Fred, you are right. It does throw sparks even with a carbide saw blade. I either sand off the dentine layer or I have been sneaky lately and use my scroll saw and cut under it starting in the softer stuff. The ivory under the outer layer is only slightly harder than elephant. It's good stuff.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
