The hard structures of whales have many purposes. Whale bone or baleen is hard and durable like bone, but also has some flexibility. In the past, it was used in many every-day items including children’s toy, buggy parts, and corsets. Whale teeth were carved or engraved used for art, chess pieces, and piano keys.
