I've got a couple of small boxes of ivory scraps,I think some of it is mastadon ivory,and would like to do something with it. Does anyone know a book on carving ivory or anything about carving it? The pieces are anywhere from 1/2"x1"x1/4" to 3"x1"x3/8." I think it could be used for inlay or sight beads. It came from the estate of Russel Anton, the stockmaker from Waterloo,Iowa.Might be willing to trade it off or donate some of it to some deserving forum member.
