Was looking for anyone who has used Ivory for a nut or saddle.

I can't imagine there would be a great deal of difference between bone and ivory (without examining the size of the pores thru a high power microscope) since Ivory tusks are just external bones.

I have several pieces of ivory that I could carve and fashion into a nut and i would if there was any benefit over bone to make it worthwhile. It wouldn't cost me anything to do it, other than the loss of the ivory blank which I could possibly for inlay on a future wood project.
