Brent, in for a penny, in for a pound! I'm picking up the wood for my next project on Thursday. I may take you up on the warthog tooth!  You are a brave man, there. Let's see the next project. Also have some hippo ivory (parts). And then, of course, there are elk ivories, but I don't have any of that to spare.

Pretty sure Ele ivory is legal again on old guns and musical instruments.
Great looking work and a worthy project.

Gorgeous gun James. Thank you again for showcasing Claudio's abilities.
Re the ivory. I was once told by a m/l mentor that walrus ivory is the only kind that never yellows. Anyone know if that is factual?
Keep the pics coming, James. It's better than a pitcher show.

Interesting. Someone here said exactly the same thing about warthog many years ago.

Stan, we had some walrus ivory at home when I was growing up. Part of a collection of Inuit art my parents had. The ivory yellowed.
Glad you are enjoying the thread. Cant wait to bring down some cans and mallards this fall.

I'm kinda partial to GA ivory .............. wild boar hog tusks. When still attached to the donor, it is serious equipment.

There would be no problem in border crossing with warthog ivory. I'd even be happy to supply some for a project like this.
Just found out I have access to mammoth ivory. I think I'll go for that rather than the warthog. But thanks Brent.
