New Fossil Ivory Jewelry

It's been awhile since we have had any fossil ivory jewelry for sale. We used to sell it at art shows here in Central Oregon and on Etsy, but now we are selling it exclusively in our Big Cartel store. We will be adding more pieces in the future.

Fossil Ivory Nalbinding Needles

We have just listed four new medieval Norse fossil ivory nalbinding needles to our Etsy shop.  Dave has created these needles in a variety of sizes.  Additional photos can be seen here.

These five fossil ivory nalbinding needles were recently added to our Etsy.com shop.  Four of them were crafted by Dave from fossil mammoth ivory, and the fifth from fossil walrus ivory.  At the suggestion of some of our wonderful customers who are active participants in the SCA, Dave has tried to create an authentic looking replica of a Medieval tool.
