Straight off the boat!
These shells are untouched and as they arrived,
​so they are of course for experienced builders who do their own bearing edges and oiling.
Note: all of these shells are carved with the traditional Ivory Coast Chip pattern.
accentuating the hand carved nature of these shells rather than lathe turned.
