Red Ivory Examples

African Red (or "pink") Ivory is the royal wood of the Zulu tribe in africa and is considered so sacred that only a memeber of the royal family were permitted to harvest it. To break this law was punishable by death.  Fortunately, I had the tribe's blessing.

What the Experts are Saying...

I have one piece that, I believe, started out as a four thousand pound block of wood. Not many people are silly enough to try that even. I think he took a 4,000 pounds of wood down to maybe 22 or 23 pounds. And the piece is almost 6-feet tall!
