How is the safest and best way to remove the threaded portion of an old ivory bead that has been broken off leaving only the threaded shank in the hole in the rib? My plan is, unless I hear of a better way, to carefully drill out the remaining part with a drill slightly undersized to the threads, then carefully pick out the remains with dental picks.
If there is a better way I would very much like to hear it before I undertake this job.
