Rev-O said:Bone? Horn?
As far as I'm aware, bone will never give you the shine and lustre that ivory does, plus it smells even worse when turning. Horn (as in ramshorn or cowshorn (unfortunately hollow) or buffalo horn) is an entirely different animal so to say -- keratin rather than 'bone'. Antler would do, but I cant think of antler that is thick enough.
And mind you: all these materials stink on the lathe -- so much so that I will only turn them with my respirator on...
