Pictures or ideas on using Warthog tusks
I was hoping that those on this site might be able to provide some ideas. I specifically accumulated about 8-10 large tusks with the original idea of making a bow rack. Those items that I have seen are pretty straight forward and do not excite me enough to replicate. Has anyone done a really attractive project with warthog tusks that I might copy off of, and make use of this box of stuff sitting under my desk?

I have had several knives made out of them that turned out nice

I have 8 sets on a 5 foot board they are glued to the board laying flat like horseshoes (meaning tips upward bases together) It looks good as the board is oak stained dark. i used liquid nails to glue them .Also fill the hollow bases with silicone or wax they will crack over time. Good luck

Wart hog tusks are true ivory, and make very good night flip up front sights for double rifles for going into dark places in follow-ups where light is dim. They do not yellow!

I have magnifying glasses with handles that are large warthog tusks.

Always great as a coffee table piece if you cant find anything else to use them for!

Seen them filled and then used as bottle openers. Makes nice little gifts too.

What Charlie64 says ...
I have them laying around in their respective groups of 4 coffee table book shelves they are just fun to look at or pick up..

Thank you for a few more suggestions. Curiously there have been a pretty small number of ideas over a long time. I am still holding out for something "special".
