THE MATERIAL IS VERY DENSE AND HEAVY AS HARD AS STONE AND NEARLY AS HEAVY IT IS VERY STRONG AND WILL NOT BREAK AS EASILY AS MOST STONES JADE EXCEPTED. IT IS ALREADY SHAPED AS A GOOD CLUB FOR HAMMERRING SOMETHING OR TOOL USE. AFTER ALL THE WALRUS USED IT FOR HAMMERING SOMETHING HEE HEE SORRY I JUST COULDN'T RESIST.

THE SECOND HEAVIEST BONE I AM FAMILIAR WITH IS SPERM WHALE JAW, THE WALRUS SKULL AND LOWER JAW IS EXCEPRIONALY DENSE AND HEAVY AS WELL.
AS MENTIONED WOOD WAS NOT EASILY AVAILABLE IN THE AREAS WHERE WALRUS WERE HUNTED SO THE HIDES BONES, HORNS, TEETH ECT WERE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF LIFE IN THOSE AREAS AS MOST EVERYTHING WAS MADE FROM THEM. WHERE STONE WAS AVAILABLE IT WAS PROBABLY USED IN SHAPEING BONE TOOLS. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN DRIFT WOOD IN AREAS WHERE THE CURRENT RAN TO THE NORTH ALONG SHORE IF THERE ARE ANY SUCH AREAS OR CURRENTS.
