O oldtoolsniper Member Joined Mar 19, 2007 Messages 236 Location Iowa. Mar 9, 2017 #9 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. Sent from my iPad using Penturners.org mobile app
