hope your shoulder heals up quick, Primalartz.
just in case people don't know what combs we're talking about here's one i made
for our Bear clan. bears are considered keepers of the medicines..the herbs and healing plants.
in the past both men and women used these, some were worn in the hair or scalplock.
Primalartz:
Thanks, I use ca glue for high stress seams. I normally refine pine pitch to use but it does not hold up for gluing two different materials together
Primalartz:
Very nice comb!!! What type of bone did you use
Primalartz:
I find it so amazing that native cultures separated by 1000's of miles share similar ideas. The Maori of New Zealand wore carved bone combs they called heru which symbolism usually represents healing or protection
