I was wondering want bones they generally use for elephant bone carvings?
 
What I have seen, was tusks.

The tusk does not need to be full in length to be carved, sometimes it is a piece of tusks, carved to some shape, woman's head or similar

All I have ever seen used are tusks. I have some around here somewhere if I could figure out how to post pictures!
 
Femur, the longer, solid, single bone in the back leg on each leg.

Second photo is a mammoth, but highlights the bone.


I would also add that they will likely carve many of the bones if you requested it.
 
A buddy of mine has two carved elephant tusk that his dad bought back in the late 70’s or early 80’s when traveling through Africa.
 
For whimsical carvings I would use the humerus.

Noah,
I might be interested in the 470 Woodleigh Softs if the price is right for the entire lot. Are you planning on going to the Tulsa Gunshow in November? If so, perhaps we could meet up.
