I was drilling out a water buffalo horn blank tonight, and I'm wondering if it goes the same for other people. I was using my PHD vise (ha, ha... yes I already have one! ) and first of all I had to tighten that down very hard to make it so the blank wasn't spinning around. Then it felt really weird in the DP, it felt almost like there were layers of really thick and hard, and then almost like voids or pockets or something. It's kind of hard to describe what it felt like, but it wasn't smooth drilling, rather very jerky.
When you look inside the blank afterwards, they look fine, even though it seemed like there might be jagged parts or something. Have other people felt anything like this when drilling water buffalo? I'm just wondering if there's something wrong with mine or if it's normal?
