Pictures? Or are we talking theoretical? Can you turn it and get it all shiny like horn scales or you thinking el natural? I'd say no to the latter.

Who would be be interested in something like this? Cost uncertain at this point in time
Thoughts

Choice;
Get a premium knot and something very unique
Or
A less premium ( but still very nice knot) and something more accessible.

I am uncertain how many Tony will be able to make. So that would also influence the process.
