Title: Cocobolo and Ivory Trumpet
Post by: merocustomcalls on January 27, 2012, 08:37:46 AM

Here's my first venture with turning ivory.  The hardest part was turning the ivory from square to round, once that was done it was pretty fun to turn.  The buyer wanted the barrel to be Cocobolo.  The call plays very easy and has great sound. 

Click on the pictures to enlarge, thanks for looking.

I'd be willing to try an all ivory call but it would have to be sold before I made it.  My operation is too small to make something like that hoping to sell it later.  That being said it would probably take me all day to make it, very slow and gently.
