Tea made, steeped until off boil then scales put in while still tepid.
Going to leave them an hour as they are very closed cells. Camel I believe.
Received in an 8"x1" blank from robsbits on eBay
Get a lot of my horn and bone from him. Works out a fair bundle deal if you order around 10 pcs or more.
Got my kids some horn guitar picks as well. And they are their favourites. Say the organic feel makes a difference on the strings..

You can pull them out with tongs, wipe them down and see what you have as often as you like, Mike!
No sense in overdoing it!"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Update on the bone scales:After a days soak in spent espresso grounds, not a lot happened, so I am making some very strong earl gray to try some tea after dinner.
And I bet Mike's shop wouldn't dare fire me. Aside from the delicate stuff that takes time, I bring Canadian beer to the party! That too takes time, to appreciate fully...
You know B52, I was going to mention this this morning but didn't (tea). I know there are a few ways to make that color to match.

Perhaps you said and I did not see it, but the bone scales were not polished as you attempt to 'dye'?
Seems they take it on better and faster as steel-wooled, scotchbrited, or lightly sanded."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Agreed, Steve! Should lean towards the yellow more than the brown! Originally Posted by engine46

I am reminded of Pixelfixed's method. Some cigarette butts, coffee grounds, and whatever went in the mix. Originally Posted by outback

Might take a lot to do it? You might have to set the tang in there to get a match as well!
Matching ivory to white camel bone is quite the challenge, IMO.
Keep at it! We shall advise!
I do think constant soaking will not bode well for the scales, being bone. JMO.
You need some ivory scales, My Man!Last edited by sharptonn; 02-09-2016 at 12:40 AM.

Tooth brushes were invented in Northern Saskatchewan, had they been invented anywhere else they would be called teeth brushes.It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
