Doug Crawford Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hello! Has anyone here carved mammoth ivory? I have a small project to do for an anniversary gift, and have no idea where to start for tooling. I dont want to ruin a chunk of material by choosing the wrong equipment. Thanks!

Doug Crawford Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 So the stuff was a breeze to work with. The traditional 14th anniversary gift is Ivory- my wife’s truck got totaled last year, nicknamed Ellie(like an Elephant, big and grey) got her a 2500 diesel to replace it, which her dad nicknamed Jurassic Ellie. I figured a pair of mammoth tusks to hang from the rear view mirror would be fitting. 14k white gold wire and beads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
