Very similar to leather working this was also created using animal hide, but using one of the rarest and most unobtainable materials on the planet. This hair comb took about 3 days of nonstop work to complete, please enjoy my journey of making this special gift. I've never made anything like this, so this was a great experiment, to understand this material

Before you consider writing strong worded comments I urge you to watch this.
Im an engineer based in europe, Im interested in all materials and all design proceses. This was one of the hardest challenges, since there is little to no info about working with chitin shell on the internet. I think I managed to create something that is one of a kind, and looks unique. I think this will make a great christmas present.
Have a great and blessed holiday everyone, happy new year.
