Mammoth with steel

**Buddel** · 05-31-2011, 04:40 PM

The mammoth ivory I using is approx. 40.000 - 10.000 years old. I had a source in russia for it and the original place where they found them is sibiria. I don´t know, if it will be possible to buy there once again. If not, I don´t can work much longer with this wonderull material. What I still have in stock is propably enought for 2-5 handles (depending on the cracks in the tooth).

That's really a beauty queen. Subject of art.
