Author Topic: Viking antler combs Greenshield New Member Member # 2159 posted 08-17-2007 08:17 AM                I've been working on some antler combs lately and thought I'd post some of them here. I've also attached a link to a How To photo guide to making combs. The ones here are Viking era combs: Here is a link to the How To site: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/560110143RkvwQv?vhost=home-and-garden&track_pagetag=/page/photo/homegarden/hobbiesinterests&track_action=/Owner/BreadCrumb/Album All comments are welcomed.

How did you make the drill bit to decorate the comb? -------------------- Woodcrafter 14th c.

The central spike makes the center hole. The outer 2 prong spikes make the outer circle and keep the whole thing balanced as it spins. Make sence??

My question though is HOW did you make the drill bit. Or did you buy it. -------------------- Woodcrafter 14th c. Woodworking Registered: Jul 2001  |  IP: Logged
