Used the tailstock as the clamp with a piece of maple in between the horn and the tailstock tip, to not mark the horn.
    Interesting technique with the random holes.

    It makes sense. Just as Charlie Lewis shows in his online video on how to make wooden scales and how to apply a drop of the glue to one side in a few places, then apply drops opposite but in between the other drops on the opposite side.

    The holes and grooves are there for the epoxy to hold onto while the wood and horn try and tear apart from one another. I'm confident it wont.

    I've asked you many questions, I'm still learning. Is this the way you do it, or what was your answer?

    Finished up last night. Decided to go with the old and then a wax finish on this one. Anything too glossy would be stealing away from this one. The Badger is a 28mm finest 2 band set at 50mm loft. I really enjoyed doing this one and may do some more crazy wood combos.
