Never did tell you about all the bandaids I used during the construction. LOL. Yes, I made out like a bandit.

If you want to basically give them away at a low price you will be inundated with requests and end up runnung a one-man sweat shop with no shop steward to complain to other than looking in the mirror.

Yep. This is about what i figured when it came to selling them. In trade? Thats an idea. Now who needs what and what do i need. Ha. It was just an idea. Glad you said something Razorfeld. Dont look like ill be getting rick quick this way.
But it was fun making them. Now if i just had more strops to cover. :)

Ok so I have a piano in my basement that will never move, if you have moved one you know, you ain't moving another.
So I got to looking at the keys, one popped off easy enough, I did the hot pin test, the pin barely leaves a duvet and just a small black mark as seen in the picture. Does this mean ivory? Or will ivory leave no mark at all?
Those 2 dots top right are the test spots.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...94e9b5d217.jpg

That is ivory. Shreger lines don't lie!

Growth patterns in ivory. Like the circles in a tree stump.

Awesome thanks Tom, I think so inlays on scales or in brushes when I get my lathe going. Any ideas? They are short, thin and I only have about 65 on the piano.

Ya, too thin and small for much else. Good uses!
