Thread: Carving Ivory Scales

Since these slabs were a shy 1/8 , which I needed for parts of the design I wanted above the surface of the main scale, the rest of the scale had to be taken down to a more reasonable thickness ( Ivory is very stiff) and it's what the design needed. Different levels. Some parts had to remain higher than others.
So using the cutters, sandpaper, knives I took down the remaining surface as you can see here.
