Conch shell tool frame

[GatorBoy]

Just messing around with some Ryker mounts and thought I'd see how this looked.
Adze and chisel like tools.
The two pieces at the bottom are made from the lip of the shell..the rest from the body.
Went scouting a new property today and had company while attempting to cross a small piece of water.. we both stayed still long enough for the photo..then we both went separate ways.
..... not sure why that photo is sideways ...

Hey Gator,

I think that frame looks great right side up, or sideways!

This is after all, Reptile Awareness Day. I'd not like one of those guys sneaking up on me.

Thanks man

Nice!! The bottom row 2nd from right looks almost like a 1/2 grooved axe. I'm assuming grooves and shell don't exist. Just resembles 1/2 groove to me. Gator boy meets Gator! Holy mackerel!

Do you find whole conch shells like in the pic down there in nature. Its really hard to find whole shells up here. Have never found one that big. Those displays are really nice.

Thanks guys.. I do find whole conch shells.
Many more south of me but there are some up here...alot of big whelks here.

It really makes your things look a lot better..and sort of respectfully shows them for what they are.. one of a kind irrepreplacable pieces of human history.
