Thread: What are you working on?

Nice scales!

Yowza! That’s a really big piece of horn.

It was baked at a high temperature, therfore it does not warp when heated. No more ice water whilst shaping.
It doesn't smell too bad either..

Baked by the supplier or yourself?

Awesome, Joseph-You were my inspiration to start doing lined wedges. Now I know how the master does it: 6 clamps AND a mockup pin! I'll have to remember this for my next one. Do you epoxy the brass sheet on? I tried CA, and it would pop free a couple of times. Using epoxy now, so it's solid! I look forward to the finished piece!
