grsjax Posted October 3, 2013 #1 Posted October 3, 2013 Not exactly wood but it does come from a tree. Saw some small carvings made from Ivory Nut at the flea market. The carvings had very sharp edges. Has anyone used this for carving parts? Any information on how durable it is? My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
rafterrat_2005 Posted March 1, 2014 #2 Posted March 1, 2014 Awhile back I seen some beautiful ships that were made from "bone" ivory. Have you tried doing a search on the net as bone ships? There are plenty to view, amazing!

It is a pretty durable material. Regards, Bob Marvin Muscongus bay Lobster Smack -Midwest- 1:24- (1st wooden build) Gertrude L. Thebaud Mini-Mamoli 1/200 kitbash
