Getting horn laminations from gemsbok horn.[Pics added]

<< < (5/14) > >>

BowEd:
Off to the drill press to reduce this horn from the inside curvature of the horn.I set the table of the drill press at 3/16" deep after the bit is in the chuck.Here is a pic of the bit.It is a 1/2" round chisel bit.Cost of 2$.

BowEd:
I push the half of horn along in the concave of the horn and it removes materiall exactly 3/16" deep.

BowEd:
More chiseling making sure it is done over all.

BowEd:
Check for depth to be sure.

BowEd:
The result.
