while clay would be easier to work with and take less time to make a bunch
around here clay is hard to come by, and firing them costs
while wood is easy to come by it would be harder to make even one
and screwing up would NOT be an option, and would need replenishing supplies of glue, sandpaper, and stain
so i come to you with questions…
which material do you think i should use?
do you think i could sell them for MONIES?!
(clay ocarinas vary in price depending on who you get them from, while ive only found 1 good wood ocarina place, 200-500 for one ocarina <_<)
Heh, I’ve got a few ocarinas from waaaay back when OoT came out and thus they were “big stuff” at the time. My grandpa–well, he was a bit of a looney, so he decided to combine two things I loved: chameleons and ocarinas. The result? A clay ocarinameleon that you play by blowing on its butt. ._.
But, er, anyway. I’ve never seen a wooden one, and that just seems weird to me. All of mine are clay and that’s the way I like 'em.
But if the wooden ones really sell for that much when properly made, and you think you CAN make them… by all means, try! (Ed. note: the preceding line is best read in the voice of Seymour Omnis from Final Fantasy X)
