The whale pod (there are 11 whales - some on the back you can't see) was carved out of walrus tusk - there are no separate pieces glued together, it is one piece of antler with everything carved from it.
OMG your collections are beautiful, i like the ivory the best i think. right now i am into collecting dogs (LOL), one of the draw backs of breeding there always seems to be 1 out of my breedings that we become attached to and cant seem to part with. i have 7 right at the moment 3 are from my breedings. I really need to find a new hobby.
