Some time ago there was a link to a supplier of ivory scraps posted in one of the replies to a posting. I thought I had saved it, but apparently I didn't.
I believe the material was sold by the pound or lot with each containing various sizes of scrap ivory. The pieces were large enough for ear rings, pendants, etc.
Does anyone rmember where the link is. I've looked for it until my eyes are beginning to cross.
Thanks for your assistance.

Take a look at Kowak Ivory.

There were several links for Ebay sellers who sold random cutoff pieces,but Ebay now forbids all ivory sales. Here is one that does have trimmings and you can contact them for specific needs.

Ivory scrap,etc.

Mammoth ivory trimmings

It was probably Werther Museum in Ohio! They sold scrap and luthier supplies on ebay. they are famous for the ivory funeral train of A. Lincoln. Hope this helps
