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.
