This one along with the other two in your other thread are great pens. Very nice... I would guess that ivory is fragile and hard at the same time.

The main problem of mammoth ivory - it is very sensetive to changes ot temperature and humidity.
And yes, it is very fragile and hard. But not so hard sa HSS chisel.

No. It is real, genuine, natural, not-fake mammoth ivory from Yakutia.

So now I'm curious how did you get one of these? I don't believe from a woodturning supplier, what is the story behind? BTW I didn't mentioned that is one of the finest pens I've seen

Boone Trading Company - Mammoth Ivory
like many things, it IS available, it is NOT cheap

And its the devil to work with at times. (fragile, cracking, smell, etc. etc.) I love the stuff. :biggrin:

And, once you have successfully made it into a pen, it may crack!!! Today, tomorrow, next year---so, if you choose to sell it----it may come back to haunt you!!!

It is not very hard to buy mammoth ivory in Russia - Yakitia is not foreign country for Russia.
Some pieces sold me one ivory carver. Some pieces I have bought from on flea market...
Unfortunatly it is not legal to export raw mammoth ivory. I would help you...

Real mammoth ivory DOES make it into Alaska, so there are mainland sources for it if I am not mistaken.
