[Steppes] Antler question

[Betsy Marshall]

I was in a class at Pennsic this year with HL Mikel Ironhawk- one of his
samples was just that- (but soaked, not boiled) in vinegar for a loooong
time, then it gets stiff again as it dries- his was bent into a complete
loop, but I think the reverse would apply- clamp it straight and let it
dry out again...

I saw a special on the history channel where they boiled ivory in
vinegar
to soften it so they could reshape it but don't know if that technique
really works. Or how long it would take!!
