Source for faux ivory grain?
I'm looking for this material that i've seen on Rooney brush handles, the "ivory" with a grain. Anyone know what it is or where to get some?

You could try Masecraft - Alternative Ivory rods. I don't know if this product has the same grain, but you could ask them for more details.

Got some of that Alternative Ivory from Masecraft a while back. Made some scales for a couple razors and really liked the results.

I neglected to add that I really like that material for brush handles, always thought it made the Rooney's look a tad sharper than the plain ivory colored resin of the Simpsons. That is, until I got this:
I also got a Rooney a while back, but it ended up being a disappointment when it began to shed furiously after a couple of years. Here it is with a new knot of High Mountain White from TGN:

Absolutely great! You see its companion in faux ebony, and I just completed the hat trick with a Chubby 3 Manchurian in butterscotch from JimmyHAD!
