I started a new pendant, A Tiki Central edition Boar Tusks

I downloaded a boar tusk model from a scan of an actual set of tusk. But it was in 2 halves

So I trimmed, rotated, and joined the two pieces into one

I needed a hanging loop so I made a sphere and sliced off the top

Deleted the bottom chunk and added a ring

Took about 90 minutes to print with ivory colored filament.

Cut, pulled, and sanded the supports off the bottom. Wet sanded the tusks with 600 grit sandpaper, super glued the hanging loop on.

Aged the tusks with a wash of Yellow Ocher and a medium brown. Painted a band of brown where the jute wrapping will go so that white tusk won't show through the wrapping.

Wrapped the tusks in jute cord and added "TC" in some green and black glass beads

Up next, some clear epoxy
