Resin-Ivory™ Gun Grip Blanks

Dave Warther's Resin-Ivory™ imitation ivory is the highest quality imitation ivory we have seen, worked or handled - ever.

 We have Resin-Ivory™ R grade grip panels and we have Resin-Ivory+S™ S grade grip panels. The Resin-Ivory™ R grade has grain that usually has a flame pattern to it as seen in the photos of that offering. The end grain on Resin-Ivory™ shows a swirl pattern whereas Resin-Ivory+S™ shows the end grain feature of real ivory with the Shreger lines - hence the "+S" designation. The Shreger lines form a herringbone or diamond patterning in real ivory and our Resin-Ivory+S™ has this same grain feature. The +S grade also has more of a quarter-sawn ivory grain showing on the face of each grip.

 The S grade looks so much like real ivory that customs agents are going to think it is real ivory. It flouresces a rich purple under a black light so they will be able to discern it from real ivory once they check it. The S material is the ultimate in ivory grip replication with a non-ivory material.

This material works just like real ivory with conventional tools and takes a high polish by buffing with white jewelers rouge on cloth or felt wheels. One needs only sand with 400 grit wet/dry paper and then take it to a buffing wheel.

This material is also the best imitation ivory we have scrimshawed. There is no squishiness when scriming and there is no bleeding of the ink into unwanted areas as seen on other imitation ivories. It works like ivory, polishes like ivory and scrims like ivory!
