Ivory Scales

[backtines]

Hi Guys ,
I have a request from a friend that would like me to make him a 12" knife with white ivory scales. All his knives are scrimshawed with really beautiful work and hes giving me the opportunity to make him one.
Ive spoke to a few guys here on the forum and they gave me some suggestions and I thank you for that .
Im just reaching out to everyone here if they have anything they're looking to sell or also point me in the direction to purchase white ivory scales.
I havent made the knife yet but the scales are going to need to be in the area of 5" long minimum and 1 5/8 wide, as far as thickness goes? 1/4 to 3/8" maybe ?

Again , Im just throwing it out there . Any suggestions ?

Thank You ,
MIke

For the one ivory handle I have made, the ivory came from these guys.

All Elephant Ivory is guaranteed pre ban, stored in a humidity controlled environment, high quality and unbleached for crafting.

I will order from them again when the need arises. Be advised, ivory can be fickle to work with... this thread has some good info: http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?25885-oil-for-ivory
