Sometime ago I emailed Luke Phillips about a piece of Mammoth Tusk a friend got me on his Alaska trip.

I was going to make a pen from it but Luke thought he might be able to do a little something with it.

I am glad I skipped the pen idea as the tusk had many cracks in it.

Luke did a "little" work on it. I thought he would laser it but no he scrimmed it with a very high speed tool and what he calls his needles.

Little does my friend know but thanks to Luke he is getting a true muesum quality piece of art work.

I do some laser engraving that some call art, but I think of myself as a tech type, no art ablity at all. On the other hand we have here at SMC a true artist in Luke Phillips.

The tusk is about 4 inches long.


Thanks Luke for a GREAT job!

Wow, that is really great-- much better than a pen! Luke really has a artist talent. That will be around a long time. :)

The case and the mount ( the branch ) are great also
