Warthog tusk

[bokkie]

Request from a friend...so I tried it

I like it, does the tusk crack over time or is it stable?

What an achievement mate, excellent turning and mini presentation. Extreme turning IMHO.

Classy ... Very classy!

Very nicely done! Did you use a finish or just polish it?

Lekker mooi:biggrin:
Another of your fellow countrymen , Terry Finney, also used stuff like that.:wink:
Very cool, you made a great job of it.

Richards Bay brings back loads of memories. I spent months at RBM and Alusaf at the end of my apprenticeship. :biggrin:

That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long, long time.

That must have been an adventure, they are a little crooked.

I've been turning dog bones made from cow legs. I'm attempting scrimshaw. I would imagine those tusks are a lot harder then a bovine shin bone!

It's is beautiful.

Nice!
A warthog tusk pen would definitely be a conversation starter.
Pretty rare in this neighborhood.
