Update.  Just glued up the horn today.  It took a couple hours make my jig and organize my set up to make glue up go as planned but I got good squeeze out and I think it’s good.  I made a 10 teeth per inch grooving tool out of an old scraper which worked fine. I did the grooving of horn and wood core yesterday and smoothed out the grooves to clean em up a bit.  Nice and deep. Approx 2mm.  The horn is fairly thick so I’ll have to remove some later but figured it would be easier to clamp down while thick.  I should have kept the bamboo thicker prior to glue up and that would have helped me out for sure but the jig worked well regardless.

Thanks for looking…

Cheers.  Here are few pics

Horn is pretty thick so I have some removal to do but glue up looks good.  Time will tell if it holds up.  Gonna let it sit couple days then start on it again.   

Thanks for looking!
