Case Apaloosa Bone

[mqqn]

Hi folks -

I bought this mini-trapper in the early 90's. Finally taking some pictures of my slippies.

Kinda looks like mastadon ivory, huh?

I carried this one for some time, but I never "batoned" with it lol...

I have a twin of this one as well.

All of the pictures can be seen here:

That is a beauty. The bone is fantastic.

Really beautiful and unique bone-- it does look like mammoth ivory.

I love that bone. It is awesome looking. Almost like you said like mammoth ivory which is awesome. I bet it will take an even nicer color once the oils of your hands soak in.

I'm more of a sucker for darker bone & stag so this really doesn't do much for me. There are some interesting colors in there, but I prefer more depth and dimension in the material than this shows. Pictures often don't tell the entire story though, and it may look richer in person. Some woods and other highly figured materials can be like that.

Hi DallasSTB -

I can understand that preference.

Do you like this green apaloosa bone peanut any better?

Gotta love the 'nut. That green has some interesting coloration as well.
