Tiny elephant tusk display

Love the idea and design. Well done.
What kind of wood are you using?
 
Nice,

Staining and sealing the wood today. Should epoxy the tusk into place once wood is dried and glued/nailed into place.
 
This is a really cool project.
Where do you plan to put it? Or, what will go between?

Epoxy glue. First time using this. So far so good!

One glued and letting dry

Both setting and epoxy almost done (5min per package, I’ll let it stay over night)

That’s the great question I’m still waiting to answer!

I’d love to place it in our baby’s nursery with diapers in between. But I would also like to be alive to go back to Africa again so it will most likely go on the dresser in the guest room with my other warthog skull mount.

The finished project! 2018 tusk from ZA and 4 gold medals from Namibia in 2014 (kudu, warthog, gemsbok, red Hartebeests)

Takes a little time, but a great project for the DIY person who has an extra Warthog or limited space!
 
Had a buddy take a small warthog and didn't know what to do with the tusks, so I made him a tiny elephant mount inspired by this thread.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
