The kit has been in stock for quite some time. I was waiting for the right time and material to make a really special pen. Having made many higher end pens using simulated ivory and being quite satisfied with the results (and resulting sales), there was just something missing. The look and feel of real ivory has nothing that compares to it. I purchased the ivory legally from Joe at http://www.elephantivory.com. He was very accomodating in selling me a blank cut to my specs. This pen is pre-ban legal ivory and will find a nice home one day. Hopefully sooner than later, however later may not be so bad because it may just stay in my own collection. It took a little longer to drill and turn as I was being extra cautious due to the tightness on my backside. The pen has a subtle natural color line extending its total length. A color that 73 pictures couldn't pick up. Here are the two best of the lot.
