HIPPO TUSK ***SOLD***

[catwhacker]

This is my first and maybe last hippo tusk turn. I bought some off ebay and you can't always see what your getting. The tusk all have small crack in them. I was able to stabilize it with hot stuff glue so the turn went well. The cracks still show up so I wrapped it with heavy bow string serving and put a coat of hot stuff on the string. I think it came out nice. $45.00 SOLD TYD Thanks. Jim

very nice call. and that string wrap looks cool

 

[badtothebone]

Very classy looking call. The black on white looks great, and the texture of the serving against the body are very cool.

All in all, that's one fine turn, buddy.

Thanks everyone.
lungpopper, It has a raspy jack single reed in it now. But that can be changed.

Thanks Jim

Beautiful call Jim.. One thing about hippo if it doesnt have a crack its not hippo.. Ive turned several hippo tusks and I've personally have not ever seen one without a crack.. Very well done /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif Kerry

+1 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif I am kind of goofy, but I think that crack and the serving give this call a great look. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
