I have both walrus and mammoth ivory. Have less walrus as I am in the interior of Alaska and do not have great northern Eskimo connections. I find much of the mammoth ivory myself so being at the source means nice price. Some of the more exotic ivory needs I can help with as I have connections with big dealers even if I do not have it in stock. I have the most materials on hand for artists scrim people necklace makers etc. Knife makers (the blue scales they seem to all want) well usually when I get it is sold to my regular customers within hours. If you want a lot I can get it from Russia (only 50 miles from Alaska)
Alaska does not have a huge selection of rocks but we have jade gold agate garnets and a few things I don't know even what they are.
Left Nowitna River agate. Found only in Alaska this is a carenilan with mottled patterns (instead of the traditionally known concentric patterns of Brazilian agate) I can sell it in the rough or sliced and polished
My book is a wilderness survival biography but also has a lot of 'how to' knowledge on tanning gathering identifying material how my art is done etc. It is a good book to compliment my art or to connect to the art and raw materials I sell. Anyone who likes the wilderness my art and the materials I use should enjoy this. After being raised middle class city and raise don Walt Disney I move to the Alaska wilderness to live my dream of being a mountain man I get dropped off with no arrangements to get picked up and walk out almost a year later then build a houseboat to live on

Alaska wolf bones are naturally hollow. Metal ends help stop beads from ever cracking, as well as being decorative.

Slighlty smaller then above #1 set less colors.Takes a high polish fits well in the hand as it is. No cracks - holds up well as a knife material. Somewhat soft center. Makes it good for cutting out for blade tang insertion but requires glue run in the center and an end cap and guard as the open pore ends do not look good.

Front-------------------back
Fossil walrus jaw bone. Hard dense bone takes a nice polish carves well good for carving. Picture below is polished I used for knife stand. When ancient walrus hunters killed a walrus they had to break this bone out of the skull to get the tusks out. So these same bones over and over were broken out and tossed aside, to fossilize and be found later on the beaches of Savoonga Alaska. $10 each
Wolverine taxidermy mount. 3 ft long x 15 inches tall x 9 inches wide. Professional well done mount. #1 condition. Usually if you supply the wolverine the mount work is worth $1,500. I got a deal from a local fur dealer when I bought a whole lot of furs and scraps from. Asking $800. Shipping in the USA guessing $40.
Does not weigh much - foam used as body. There are two threaded rods from two of the feet about a foot long with wingnuts so this mounted wolverine can be set on a background of your choice. Usually a tree branch, fake rock etc.
