Beautiful transition from metal to ivory. Given the gestopo treatment of ivory, I would love to hear the story about its history, 7.2K views · 422 reactions | In 2016, Kenya destroyed around 105 tonnes of confiscated ivory in one of the largest wildlife protection demonstrations ever conducted. The ivory came from seized illegal elephant tusks collected over years of anti-poaching operations. By burning the stockpile instead of selling it, Kenya sent a strong message that elephant ivory should have no economic value. The action aimed to discourage global ivory trafficking and emphasize that elephants are worth far more alive than as commodities. Important Details: • 105 tonnes of ivory destroyed • Largest ivory burn in history • Protest against illegal wildlife trade • Supports elephant conservation efforts • Global anti-poaching message #WildlifeProtection #SaveElephants #AntiPoaching #ConservationAction #KenyaWildlife | Mechanical Engineers Rocks.
That was a piece of fossil Walrus ivory. Unlike Elephant and Mammoth, Walrus does not have growth rings. I have some old Elephant i have had 30 years, i bought at an estate auction. Can't legally sell it now, so i am thinking to make myself a set of grips for my single action colts. Gun is rare anyway. 7 1/2 barrel, unfluted cyl. Set of engraved ivory grips would be cool to take pig hunting.
Yep Bandit ,, you might be my brother from another mother ,, , that skill of engraving and and the detail of the inlaying is impressive ,, but far removed from my bag of skills . I appreciate you sharing your work with us ,, as usual Mr Fisk .
That is a skill that I wish I had. I did some mother of pearl inlay on a rosewood fretboard, came out nice, but the inlays were simple elongated diamond shapes and not that small.
