Additional
Information:
The Woolly Mammoth lived during the
Pleistocene that was 2.58 Million to 11,700 years ago. This Mammoth
had large ivory tusks and is related to an extinct elephant genus
and was about the size of today's African Elephants. The Woolly
Mammoth coexisted with early humans who hunted these animals for
food. However, they became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene
probably because of climate change and hunting.
The
Woolly Mammoth ivory, teeth and bones I use comes from Siberia. Most
of these fossils come from native people who collect them on river
banks and from various digging sites.
This particular piece has a nice patina and exposed bone cells.
Box
Elder is a fast growing tree that was often planted as a shade tree
and for windbreaks. The wood is plain but sometimes
Box Elder produces a burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some
stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots. This burl wood is highly figured.
The Box Elder Burl I use in my knives comes from a storm-damaged
tree that was part of the original trees planted during the Mormon
migration to Utah.
This particular piece has been dyed yellow to provide a nice
contrast to the Fossil Woolly Mammoth Bone. |
