Hello All, I have a customer that wants me to make 2 small pendants with an Elk Ivory in each. She gave me the teeth, How do you cut/saw/grind off the root to leave the top of the Ivory???? Thanks!!! Ross
Another option, requested by many of my customers, was to create a cap around the root, leaving the tooth intact. I've fabricated the cap out of sheet silver for some and for others used soft wax formed around the root, sculpted and cast. Some were augmented with small turquoise cabochons and others with rubies. Never got any pictures of them (drat).
