Yes, it is beautiful, Sajen

I regarded that thread many, many times.

Thank you Rick and Gustav. What catch my eyes: all three hilts here shown in this thread have a similar colour, while many warangkas and hilts offered in e-bay more blond. They worked maybe from the molar Mr. Maisey told.

Regards,

Detlef

Here is a other molar hilt from my collection, many more crudely worked.

This is a pic of a piece of the raw material.

Here's a section through a mammoth molar, unfortunately it's a North Sea fossil so it's no good for hilts-parts of the tooth go kinda chalky (and it falls to pieces)
