This is a bottom side of the Resin Ivory GuitarParts and More sells.
Neat stuff!
To me it’s a tad soft but looks really great.

Like everything else, buy what you can afford and that pleases you. For me that's real ivory and real sambar stag. Not knocking the new available substitutes just a personal observation. I used to buy affordable riflescopes too but now I'm much older, and somewhat wiser.

Much to my chagrin I have a supernatural sense of smell.
Put the grips in question in a plastic sandwich bag and let it sit in the sun for a minute. It’ll smell like tooth.
This Resin has a hint of automotive body filler smell.

Ivory is harder and shows a fracture line somewhere, regardless how perfect.

Thanks Ugly! My customer seemed pleased by the result.
I’m going to try my hand at a set of right-side Steerhead grips.

Looking back up at previous posts someone said they wetted wet/dry paper. David’s online instructions recommend against wetting dark paper. It could possibly discolor the final product is my guess - or maybe is just gets messy?

I used FLITZ on burlap to polish the ones I’ve been making. Burlap has a roughness that’s not too abrasive.

Here’s some tips.

I used dark paper on the set I made (because its what I had) and never noticed any discoloration. I was using 3M brand and lots of water. I suppose different brands might have different results.

More Resin Ivory...

These 1-piece grips really dressed up this already pretty Charcoal Blue Uberti.

I dared not get close to that blue finish - was all done with a tracing and using another grip frame as a slave. They feel good too!
