This is the first time I’ve worked with any kind of ivory, in this case mammoth ivory from Siberia, and I love the way the project has turned out. Making one-off sets of pipes is a fun way to do it and after spending all week last week and most of the weekend I’m getting into the assembly and playing stage. Today it’s off to the store for some cotton thread to be beeswaxed and used for the joints of this set, then play them all week to be sent off on Friday. I’ll upload some closeups later in the week when I get the silver put on.
