This sculptured knife handle is a signed orginal by D.j.w. Kelsey. I am a self-taught artist and sculptor with 35 years experience in mixed mediums. All the pieces I create are one of a kind, carved with a dremel or a foredom, with dental bits and burrs. Antlers used are moose,elk or deer; generally sheds, but occasional I use purchased non-sheds. I have recently started to carve in warthog, hippo and mammoth ivory that I have purchase on ebay. I was a 911- dispatcher for years and began carving for its therapeutic value. I do custom pieces upon request so please feel free to e-mail me. I carve sculptures, knife handles and make carved jewelry. Feel free to check out my feedback. This carved knife/cane handle of a 3D grizzly bear growling carved on an ivory warthog tusk. This piece has great natural patina that enhances the character of the handle. This is a signed orginal carved in March of 2007. The total length of the knife handle is about 5 1/2 around the curve and 5 long straight across. The end of the handle is 1 1/8 inches tall by 3/4 of an inch wide. This handle as with all warthog has a hollow on the end. This piece would make a nice knapped or steel blade knife as with all my on line auction pieces, this piece has no reserve. The moose burr is not part of the auction. Feel free to bid high and I hope you win so you can read more
