Window of the past
Early 1930" Ivory market in London
Pretty cool[URL= ]Ivory market[/URL]


" Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.
When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move...

Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies...

A simple question from someone that's never seen a tusk in person.

How far up does the hollow cavity go?

Thank you,
George

It all depends on the Nerve, thats why judging Ivory can be tricky. Could have a big fat nerve, large cavity ~ less weight. or small nerve ~ smaller cavity, more weight.

The nerve will taper off approximately at the lip which is defined by the embedded part of the tusk.
