I'm aware of the fragility of antique ivory, I've collected enough of it over the years! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I've clamped one of the sticks to a flat wooden surface using a pair of sprung clothes-pins and have placed a large mug of hot water underneath to steam it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
