Is it legal to make and sell jewelry out of ivory? I suspect not. |

It's legal to sell reclaimed ivory that predates 1989 according to this article: http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/sep2004/2004-09-24-01.asp |

These items are not being sold in or shipped to the states. The material is not even being sold outside the location where the piano was disassembled. This is not an ad. |

I realize that, Kenny. I would suspect that the sale of ivory is restricted in Canada. |

Good thing I'm not the one selling it or making it. I'll call the cops today and get these piano parts sent to the dump. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Interesting and very attractive stuff. I'd love to make a music room wall bookshelf from a grand rim. |

Wow. What beautiful work and what a wonderful way to give these little bits of things a new life. I love it. You work with some very talented people, but I guess that's not a surprise. |
