Title: What To Do With These?
Post by: D.A. Davis on July 12, 2010, 08:59:00 PM
What can I do with a couple Javalina tusks?  I found a jawbone with them in it while hog hunting in south Texas right after the first of the year.  Do you think I can use these on a bow?

Make yourself a necklace. Add a few snake vertebrae and you'll be good to go!

I read an article where a guy used them to burnish (I think that is the right word) a bow.  He used them to smooth the grain down instead of using a bottle or piece of hardened steel.

Can't see how big they are in the pic, but I mounted some warthog tusks on a piece of wood so that the tusks curved upwards and hung it on the wall. Makes a great holder for a bow or fishing rod.

You can see how big they are now.
