Re: i am new here and need a little help please Mammoth tusk ivory
ivory is a wonderful material to carve. but if you take whale jaw bone it has a similar density.. as well many parts of an animal have quite dense portions of bone. though the grain acts just a little different, it will give you an inexpensive way to play around without wasting any ivory... obviously teeth are practically ivory, just get past the enamel.
you are very lucky to have such a pile. good times
