Walrus Tusk before starting. I laid out two walrus tusks, and the narwal tusk from this. Not much was left over.

Penciling in lines to create grooves for Narwal tusk

I recently carved replacement tusks for a jade walrus sculpture and narwal jade sculpture. I also inlaid the ivory eyes in the Narwal and then polished both sculptures. I made a pencil holder from the remaining material.
In Canada, walrus tusks can be purchased legally, although the ivory can not be shipped out of Canada. Interestingly, woolly mammoth ivory can be shipped internationally.
I enjoy the challenge of repairing and restoring sculptures for clients.
