Really!?
Hey all check this out... claims to have scales of Mammoth Ivory 20,000 - 30,000 years old. Is it real?

It's more readily available these days than elephant ivory. However, giving ivory such an uninspired shape is a huge waste. In this case, "more" isn't equal to "better". Give Jason, Gary, Peter or Chris 1/4 of what the seller wasted on those scales and you'll get a truly beautiful composite.

For some reason I thought he just re-scaled a DOVO. This is an even worse waste. Talk about big corporations wasting resources on spewing out generic c*ap

I agree it's a waste. shouldn't the ivory be in a museum or something? I'm a wood man mayself, so maybe that's why i can't really see the point.

There's plenty of it to go around for small craftsmen, but it should have a unique shape. This one's too bland, neutral and uninspiring.
