Title: Ivory anyone?
Post by: Gobblerstopper on March 08, 2011, 09:39:26 PM
I know, not the best pic, but anybody want to take a guess on the kinds of ivory here?

The bottom piece is right at 3" long if that helps...

Tagau nut is found in central and south america. Called poor mans ivory. Check out this link below. Pretty cool stuff.

I passed on the nut.  The guys boy wanted to take it to school, so I told him to keep it.  Pretty neat though.
