Watching you replace a plug in that tabletop because you knew that you could do it better...and DID - It's a lesson I've had to learn over and over again. So, watching you take this project slow and making sure you understand each step in the process before doing it and the attention you paid to every detail really paid off in the end. Love the sense of humor. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos.

    You can actually buy mammoth tusks that are fully restored, too. They are usually far more expensive then this guy paid, although $7000 is still a lot. The price really depends on how big it is, what kind of mammoth it came from, where it was found, and the condition it was in. There are some beautiful restored tusks. I think this guy could've done a better job restoring this tusk, like by using resin to fill the cracks instead of whatever he used (it looked like some kind of wood filler) and then colouring those areas with sharpie. It still turned out pretty nice, though. The companies that restore them have some really amazing looking ones. They also mount them differently as well, without drilling into them (which I believe would've been a better option). I think drilling into it to mount it was a mistake. There are far better ways to mount tusks. There are areas where natives go find mammoth tusks and then sell them or make jewelry out of pieces of them (depending on whether they find entire things or just pieces). In some areas natives are the only ones allowed to remove mammoth tusks from the ground. There are known areas where mammoth tusks are found, and sometimes natives use "hunting" for them as a source of income.

Still, I think he over does it sometimes and sounds like he's being disrespectful towards his clients (supposedly charging tens of thousands for a project he's never done before) or in this case, even worse, disrespectful towards an invaluable historical artifact.

    I have a couple of artist friends who owned 2 mammoth or mastodon tusks. One was in pieces, but the other one was intact and not stabilized. The one in pieces they used to do scrimshaw. I got addicted to wanting just one more piece. I have a hand carved whale tail. Also a 2 inch piece of the tusk with a beautiful scrimshaw of a whale jumping straight up out of the ocean. Each artist apologized to me about the tiny cracks that showed. This was done over twenty years ago so I don’t know if anyone had come up with the technology to totally hide the cracks, but I love them, it shows its age. I wear each of the pieces as necklaces. It is quite the conversation starter after someone compliments them, I say that it’s about at least 10,000 years old. I usually get out the picture I have of me standing by the intact tusk which is way bigger than me. I’m in awe about how big and strong those animals were. They had two of those things sticking out of their skull. They fought with them and moved them anytime they moved their head. Just their neck muscles must have been huge and strong. And who ever thought up the idea to hunt them and talked a bunch of their friends into hunting them - wow. Those men lived hard. BTW I once ate rattlesnake, it was very good.

    Yes, absolutely to having one. I like your channel because i'm a fan of the materials (woods/metals) and how artisans bring them out. The idea of a natural, ancient fossil like that, even re-finished, would make my living room so interesting. I'd find myself staring at it thinking about how it belonged to a living creature so long ago

    I would totally have a tusk in my house! On another topic, I bet a lot of people think your wife is just negative about your projects, but I bet her decisive critical mindset is part of the reason you love her. My long term girlfriend and I both have building hobbies, I build house projects, boats, etc.. and she sews, dresses, upholstery, etc. We both trust each others opinions because we both give brutally honest feedback. It keeps me on my toes and doesn't let me come close to half assing a project!

    Interesting to see someone who is somewhat into geology use the word eon figuratively. An eon is about billion years, the Great Pyramid of Giza had existed for 1,000 years by the time the last woolly mammoth died.

    Eon has a number of meanings. In Astronomy, an eon refers to 1 billion (109) years. But it also refers to a very long, unspecified period of time, or specific geologic stages of the Earth. The term eon (or aeon) is frequently used as a term for a very long but un-specified time period, much the same way "forever" and "ages" are used. In Earth history, stages of the earth's development are divided into four major eons (Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic and Phanerozoic), which are in turn divided into eras and periods. These geologic eons are distinguished by major stages in Earth's geologic history, rather than fixed periods of time.@@kasparsarapuu2797
