Then everyone on here will bitch their cues are now worth a fraction of the price they paid.
Zimbabwe urges sale of stockpile of seized elephant ivory
- Thread starter evergruven
- Start date
Nobody shoots with cues with ivory in them. As soon as another player finds out then the owner will be shamed to death. We area pass that point of 'wow look at the ivory in that cue'. We are at the point of shaming them and rightfully so.
My cue has two pre-ban ivory ferrules. i won't apologize for shit.
You realize elephants live a really long time right? How long do you think it would Zimbabwe to stockpile that much ivory from elephants dying a natural death?
These guys feel the need to shoot down elephants and use the ivory for their chess pieces or piano pieces or even pool cues.
Just because they think it is pretty or it helps them become better pool player.
Carbon is the way to go as for equipment. I see fewer and fewer of these elaborate cues.

The point being, there is already an enormous stockpile of ivory. It could be put on the market tomorrow. That’s the whole point of this thread. Sadly there are people who are so nearsighted in their thought process that they’re blind to the enormous benefit that would be derived from doing so.
Every cue that I own except one has ivory - almost every cue that I ever owned had ivory. I happen to enjoy cues for playability, construction quality, and the beauty of the natural woods. I also believe that nothing compliments natural woods like other natural materials such as ivory. I do not have knowledge of any of my cues being loaded with illegal ivory. Certain woods are now also unavailable due to restrictions - I have enjoyed cues with some of those woods as well. I have no knowledge of the woods being purchased illegally either.
A lot has changed over time- my wife has a mink coat that cost $10,000 almost 30 years ago- what is she supposed to do- burn it?
Yes people shoot cues with ivory- I do- I am supposed to be shamed by all of this? I don't think so.

The meat is very good too,
Tastes a lot like spotted owl…
Actually more like beef.
Zero protein goes to waste in Africa. The intestines are mostly edible as well and the fat makes great cooking oil. The only thing that really isn’t used on a elephant is the bones. This is assuming a legally hunted elephant or a PAC (problem animal control) animal. Poached jumbos are left to rot.
Always talking about food. lol
40-55 years in the wild. They die because their molars wear out and they effectively starve to death. They eat primarily thorn brush
Not long there are loads of jumbos in Zim.
