Dave Warther's Resin-Ivory™ imitation ivory is the highest quality imitation ivory we have seen, worked or handled - ever. Arvorin and other alternative ivories are made as a spun polyester but Resin Ivory™ is a resin based material that has greater strength and beauty.
As you scroll below you will see our R Grade (Regular) Resin-Ivory™ rod stock for turnings. We also have Resin-Ivory+S™ rods in larger diameters of 1.5" & 2". The R grade Resin-Ivory™ has grain that looks like real ivory. 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.
Both grades work just like real ivory with conventional tools and it then takes a high polish by buffing with white jewelers rouge on cloth or felt wheels/pads. One needs only sand with 400 grit wet/dry paper and then take it to a buffing wheel or hold a felt pad to the fitting as it turns. 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! Glues to wood with white glue and to other materials with super glue or epoxy.
