Thought I'd show a few of the fancy ones I make... if they don't sound as good as they look I'd/I'll buy 'em back! I bought some fancy stabilized Walnut burl about a year ago.. couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with it until I saw a few pieces of Ivory at a knife shop in Gatlinburg TN.. Married this piece of pre ban elephant Ivory to it..

Barrel is stabilized Walnut burl with an elephant Ivory bead... the toneboard is an o-ring fitted hippo ivory



He also had an ancient walrus tusk.. I made this Red Mallee burl barrel, with a Walrus Ivory bead and Hippo Ivory toneboard.



This one is a Hippo Ivory barrel, and a Hippo Ivory toneboard.



with a 60 watt light bulb behind it...


I also use antler and Buffalo horn for the beads and toneboards (price is much less too)
Koa and buffalo horn:
