Give your favorite hat or coat the best seat in the house with this custom-made piece. We combine a base of rare African Yellow Wood with Ivory Warthog Tusks to create a beautiful and functional conversation piece.

All of our Ivory Warthog Tusks are secured during Government authorized cull hunts in South Africa and are legally imported through US Customs.  The ones on your rack were 2”-3” longer but we cut them down to provide a solid channel to fill with our industrial strength setting compound.  Each tusk takes approximately four hours to clean, polish, fill with the compound and prepare for mounting. The flat bottom part of the tusk is where the smaller lower tusk whets against the upper one to keep it razor sharp for protection against predators.  Warthogs have maimed leopards and even lions with these impressive weapons that can protrude up to ten inches from their mouth.

Racks created in African Yellow Wood

The Yellow Wood base is indigenous to South Africa and is the only tree the endangered Cape Parrot uses for nesting.  For that reason, these rare trees are given protected status.  When the trees die and are no longer used by the parrots, a select few loggers licensed by the Government are allowed to harvest them.  We purchase our lumber from a sawmill in South Africa that processes this beautiful wood from the loggers. The random sized pieces we use are approximately ¾” thick.

This extremely dense wood features beautiful pale oranges and yellows accented with beige highlights. How much character the wood displays depends on what part of the tree your particular piece came from and how long it has been seasoned by the elements.  Cleaner pieces typically come from the middle of the tree.  More rustic pieces usually come from the outer portion and can contain small remnants of the bark, hairline cracks and open knots from being dried in the equatorial sun.  Even by exotic wood standards, African Yellow Wood exhibits a stunning, naturally dramatic appearance. 

The random shaped four tusk racks measure approximately 25-35” wide and 7-10” tall.  The measurements for the three tusk model are slightly smaller.  Mounting these racks is easy as the back features standard recessed hanger brackets that allow for flush mounting using the #6 round head screws provided.  We include two packets of mounting hardware for this piece: one for wood and another for drywall. Ideally, you would sink the mounting screws into wood or wood studs. 

Combine with our "Nature's Design" Lamps for a stunning, coordinated look.
