Repairing Ivory

CharlesS · 11th November 2011, 03:56 PM

Battara is a professional restorer, so he knows what he's doing, but if you are not, and really want the restoration done well, I strongy suggest finding a professional that specializes in ivory repair. It is no small feat, and a mistake can make the situation worse. The real problem with restoration of ivory is maintaining the consistent texture and color of what is already there.

....again, no easy feat!
