MATERIALS

MAMMOTH IVORY:From the tusk of the extict Woolley Mammoth,this material has been buried in the frozen tundras of Alaska and Siberia for about 20,000 to 40,000 years,but for about two months out of the year the ground thaws and thats how the trace minerals enter the ground and produce all the wonderful colors and patterns,this is also the time of year when this material is harvested.This is a very hard material that produces a beautiful polish.For the guitar player a Mammoth Ivory pick gives a wonderful tone and because it is pourous it will not slip out of your hand like plastic. For the builder and player as well a Mammoth  Ivory nut and saddle will produce superior tone and sustain over plastic.

ELK ANTLER:A very hard material from the yearly sheddings of the Elk. Picks and slides will have great tone and sustain.

BONE:Traditionaly used by top guitar manufacturers back in the '50s and '60s for nuts and saddles ,sadly today most are plastic or gaphite.This comes from cow bone.
