    Talking More Old Project Materials On The Way...

    OK so I had so much fun doing the Mammoth Ivory I decided to stick with the old natural materials so I picked up these items for my next few projects. I can't wait til next week to get my hands on this stuff. It should be awesome...we'll see. I must be going mad...LOL

    This piece is an 12.5' long Walrus Tusk, Whole



    This one is a 9.5" Warthog Tusk, Whole



    And last but certainly not least this awesome 6.2" Woolie Mammoth Tooth, Slab

    Actually I can get a whole tooth....I imagine I could make a bowl out of it, problem is you really don't want to know the price of a full tooth.....

    Those look like some great materials. Can't wait to see what the artist in you pulls out of the various items.
    Good Tea Drinking and Shaving! Best regards, Steve.

    A brush for each eye and a puck of bad breath scented soap between the teeth.

    Wouldn't that be Skulltles? That would make an interesting shave of the day picture for Halloween along with a Grim Reaper razor. You could even name the skulltle Yorick and use a George Butler & Co razor with a Shakespeare quote on it.
