Ivory tools are implements crafted from ivory, which is a dense material primarily derived from elephant tusks, but can also come from other animals like walruses or Narwhals. Historically, these tools have been used for various purposes, including carving, writing, and crafting due to ivory's workability and durability. The use of ivory has significantly declined due to ethical concerns and legal restrictions surrounding wildlife conservation and the protection of endangered species. Today, alternatives like synthetic materials are often used instead.

What is the easiest way to carve Ivory?

The easiest way to carve ivory is with a moto-tool fitted with a carving bit, but hand tools that are used for hard wood (such as whittling knives, chisels, saws, drills, scrapers) can also be used. What tools will be best to use will depend on: the type of carving (sculpture in the round, relief, scrimshaw) the hardness of your ivory, the finish you want to achieve (smooth, hand hewn), the purpose of the carving (artistic, decorative, religious, functional).
