Wonderful! If I had some Ivory, I would probably make a box out of it, but I will probably never even have the opportunity to get my hands on any. This brings back memories of a work shop with Alan Batty and his stories about turning billiard balls, a project that took a year or three because the Ivory had to 'adjust' after each turning.

I have some Elk antler which is almost 3" at the base but only one piece left and to go to the person who gave me the stuff.

Not quite the same material, but I don't know how the difference would apply to turning them. The difference is that antlers are bone material and tusks are tooth material. That's the short answer.
