Joel, a lot depends on whether you mean actual whale bone, as in bony
skeletal elements, or baleen, often called "whalebone," which is keratinous.
Please specify which type of expertise is needed.

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Do any of you know of a conservator who works with whale bone?  Maybe
someone at the Alutiiq Museum could recommend someone.

If you prefer, drop me an e-mail off the list.

Thank you.  Be well.
