Only sharing this as I thought some might be interested to see some beautiful mammoth tusk pieces as well as a small glimpse into the build itself. Photos below show the hollow grind of the blade and hollowing out of the handle to allow some grip to the epoxy.
I did a big taper on the blade to the butt end and decided to peen nickel pins on this piece to add to the look with a rounded peening hammer. Tonight it will get a little more hand sanding then final polish of the handle and sharpening.....thanks for taking a peak along the journey...
