I've got a nice big piece of mammoth tusk [ 1/3 of the round that's 10 inches long and about 10" in circumference ] I've been trying to get a few knifemakers to use on one of my bowies for years. They won't touch it for fear of ruining the rest of the piece on me even though I told them to go for it, I'd be fine with one set of grips out of it.
Nice looking mammoth grips sir

 , Brownie, or anyone else...Both Brian and Dan mount their mammoth on reinforcement backing. As you can see Dan mounts his in either a silver or black surround. Brian has reinforcement backing recommended if you planning to shoot the gun. I can take detailed pictures of the backs of the grips if that would be of value in your projects. Let me know. It is pretty intimidating I think to start and the material is expensive to start experimenting with but the results are awesome, I think. I have seen some a lot prettier than mine but you never know what you will end up with after the scales are shaped and polished. Every one is different and the change as the colors many times do not penetrate the entire piece. THANKS for the nice comments guys. They are appreciated. Dennis

Check out www.danchinnock.com He makes great knives with mammoth grips all the time.. You may well be able to work a deal for your bowie grips in exchange for the remainder of the tusk piece. He is a solid gentleman and a great craftsman. Give him a call. Nothing to lose. You may know all of this already, but if not it may be worth pursuing. Dennis
