Latest folder

Thought I'd share a few photos of my mammoth and meteorite folder completed about a month ago. This was a very fun and challenging build! I've had a few nice offers from people that would like to buy it but so far I haven't been able to bring myself to sell it. :1:

Thanks guys! Martin - The mammoth ivory is quite nice to work with besides the nasty smell. If you ever decide to try it, be sure to use a good respirator as it's about as bad on your lungs as you can get. Working it reminds me of a good hard wood like desert ironwood or amboyna. Mammoth tooth on the other hand is some of the most difficult material you will ever encounter. The meteorite was really interesting to work with as well. It's cool to see it look like plain old steel while you're shaping / sanding and once you drop it into a nitric acid solution, you see the crystalline pattern re-appear almost immediately.
