Le Grelot Nr. 14 with mammoth-ivory
My first mammoth-ivory scales. Fortunately I have a new bigger belt sander for this job. On the first pic you can see the part of the mammoth-tooth, how it arrived here. Because of the many cracks, I could only make this pair of scales from it.

Speechless! It's cool to see those being found after 20,000 years.

Very Nice! A beautiful job!
How difficult was the ivory to work? Was it prone to cracking or was it pretty stable?
What did you use to polish it up?
