I finished ..... you guys can give me some feed back !?....As i stated before i cut this for my sister-in-law who spends quite a bit of time every year in Africa.....Cut the top from 1/4 BB and the backer is 1'' MDF....the entire tusk was painted in "Formal Ivory"....Then painted the insert area of the backer black before gluing and pinning with 23ga pins.....I hope you like it!.........Almost forgot to say it is a Sue Mey pattern!
