"The brilliant 'Red' (side notched0 Archaic Arrowhead was 're-hafted' in my studio to what might have appeared six to seven thousand years ago. I have a variable collection of these ancient objects. They are from all over the world." I do however value the Alaskan 'stone' projectiles a great deal, due to their significance and scarcity." "They often exhibit master works-man-ship in their stone work as their very survival depending on the hunt."

"Buckland 'Old Village' up river from town. The Buckland river has Mammoth, and bones along with artifacts that have drifted downriver. The upper Buckland river for some reason began to change it's banks to a different route, and as it did this it washed and eroded through the old village...This foot long Beluga Whale Harpoon Toggle was still in the mud...not as yet 'fallen' into the gravel and river."
"Yupik Ladle, motif, of Woolly Mammoth Ivory, and indeed the Yupik of St. Lawrence had not much in the way of Mammoth Ivory. During the Ice Age, the Bering Straight off St. Lawrence Island was 'Mammoth Steppe,' dry except for the rains. Pleistocene Ice Age fossils are all through the Bering and Chukchi Sea...in abundance and often they are washed up on the beaches all through the Arctic"
"Spoon Ladles, Pendants and Amulets, from as far back as the Ice Age to the last thousand years, reproducing artifact motifs and with an 'Antique' finish equal in view to an ancient object." "Very difficult to obtain an original artifact from the Ice Age, so I bring them back, affordable, all designs that can be retrieved from historic and prehistoric references." "My market is actually 'fun' to design and produce the most significant art form in history, Woolly mammoth Ivory, the first jewelry and spear."
"An 'eroded' Woolly Mammoth bone, in the sand with moss...on a stroll along the beach in Koyuk village, and then a ancient vertebrate, probably seal. I still have the old seal bone, and the 'Mammoth Bone' was just finished into sculpture. "Misfortune" Elder Shaman of Savoonga centuries ago, transformed himself into a Polar Bear, so he could more easily track his quarry. Running on all four legs, he then crossed a high ice ridge and down the other side...a hunter from his village...thrust a lance into the old Shaman...thought he was Bear"
