Quincy wrote: Jeff, where do you get your carvable Mammouth ivory? what is the color like? is it similar to Elephant ivory? thanks Qnc The last batch I bought came from Boone Trading Post in Washington state. You can find them on my little page of ivory related links: http://home.comcast.net/~jwisnia18/t...ory_Links.html I haven't noticed any difference in the workability of mammoth ivory compared to elephant ivory, but a Dremel, Fordham or similar high speed tool sure beats hand carving during the roughing stages. The colors I've seen range from classic elephant ivory white to an yellowish tan which I've heard results from long exposure to minerals in the soil those mammoth tusks have been buried in all those years.
