IVORY Near Impossible to Get

[Joshua223]

I've been hoping to get some ivory online or at the local Blade Show the last couple of years with no luck. I wish I had bought more cheap scrap for straight razor wedges/spacers when they had it.
Ivory dealer from Florida I talked to at the Blade Show this year said he could only bring mammoth ivory to the Blade Show. Any ivory had to be sold in Florida or shipped within Florida. So, unless I end up in Florida sometime I'm out of luck!

Many older piano's have Ivory keys laminated on top.

I remember years ago there was a dealer in Shotgun news who used to sell ivory. He had big hunks of it, blocks of it, slabs etc. Back in the 90s it wasn't even all that expensive either. Shoulda bought all I could back then.

I thought trading in ivory was illegal these days?
