Yuri Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I haven't got around to carving the one I have yet. It comes from a cigar cutter that I picked up for a song on the local equivalent of ebay. (trademe is the name) However, it is stated on more than one site that discuss various ivories that hippo tusks are the hardest of them all. Also that they have practically no grain to speak of. Not much help, but, hey, you just charge into it and become the one enlightening us all. Good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
