This is a very nice design and the ivory works well with the ebony. I am looking forward to seeing your next creation. Hopefully we will have another meet this spring and you will be able to attend. I may also be able to make a NY/LI meet but no promises.

Ivory is beautiful. I have carved it before, and made some jewelry, but am looking forward to an all ivory brush.
Do you have any pics of yours? Would love to see them.

As everyone has said, it is a beautiful piece of work. You've got some talent.
I think I'll hit the antique shops for cue balls this weekend.
To bad I dont own a lathe, or any skill with working ivory.

Thanks!
If you end up with too many of them, let me know. Oh! the going rate is around $100.00.

keys open doors?

All I got to sat is WOWWWWW!!!

Stunning doesn't cover it Ed, loving the design! The bowl in the back looks great as well .

Excellent, and nicely done!!! Never thought about cue balls or other ivory items. Will have to keep an eye out for such things. Saw a letter opener at the local antique store and it said "ivory" so I looked at it. I told the person with the "keys" at the mall, I don't think they would have left little round dots from the mould on the face if it were Ivory.. LOL Not ivory, poured plastic. So one needs to be always watchfull.

Saw this at the most recent meet, the pics don't even come close. This is a luxuriously crafted lathering implement first class. Hide your women, hide your children, hide your cue balls!
