Love Elephants

I bought these elephants at a garage sale. The larger elephant is missing a tusk but maybe I can find something to make a tusk. In researching Woodworking Vocabulary I found the following:Glossary -- Ebonising; Ebonised (During the 19th century, the spelling is with "s", rather than "z". Also, in "Google Books Search", the term, "Ebony Stains" yield more hits.)
Staining furniture or other wood objects to resemble ebony. The process of producing a finish that resembles the wood, ebony, by dying and/or staining and polishing. As part of a decorative art practice, ebonizing furniture originated in the 16th century, but only in the 19th century did the practice become popular -- especially from 1875-1885, during the period of the so-called Aesthetic movement -- in Britain and America.
