Gemsbok Horn and Ivory set
« on: August 31, 2009, 10:47:34 AM »
Here is a call and matching case I made for a good friend. The case is made from a Gemsbok horn with an Ivory top and bottom which was all hand carved with a knife. The "Stopper" on top was carved from a solid 2 1/2 inch by 3 1/2 inch solid piece of Ivory.The wingbone was made from solid pieces of Gemsbok horn accented with carved pieces of Ivory.

Well this project didn't go without incedent , while carving a piece of holly to pattern the piece for the stopper the knife got a bit hungry. Sliced the thumb pretty good.
