I was in Alaska last week visiting my brother in Anchorage. As it turns out there is lots of Mammoth Ivory and Walrus ivory. Even though it is fossilized it is still soft enough to work. Saw some beautiful carvings. S I couldn't help myself and came came back with some Walrus teeth size of my 1/2" to 1" diameter and 2"-3" long. I thought I might try turning some small finials for Christmas tree or the likes....when I have some time.
Anyone else rever try this???
