Thin like ivory? Wade & Butchers

Yes, That set of scales Zak posted looks solid, and who wants to toss out that fine old carved ivory? A great save, I think!

Is no question they can be patched,in the case of the carved scales above is about the only option.
If the scales were not hand carved,I would just make a replacement,thats a fix.

Unless you could make a replcament scale and carve it to duplicate the original!
Now THATS a fix! :D

It's next on my list of things to learn!

(Okay, not really. Next is making my own washers, then learning to press horn, then carving ivory scales)

burning is out of the question... i lick ivory after it has been cleaned and look at it under magnification

I'm pretty sure it's ivory (would bet more than the bidding price), but it's true that it can be cracked at the wedge end.
