Pink Ivory

I have used pink ivory pretty much every way in the butt of a cue & it does well every time. It's a cool wood. I can't say I have ever had issues with it warping, cracking, or anything of the sort. It is heavy so use it the way you'd use any heavy wood such as ebony, cocobolo, etc.
I would only use figured/curly PI. Handle/rings/points would look good in that configuration. It contrasts best with Ebony.
If you core one wood, why not all?
Also looks good with Snake wood.
Pretty and unique looking wood, but really heavy, I was surprised first time I picked up a piece, I had no idea it had the same weight as ebony. I think it`s one of those woods that`s best used sparingly and it works best with sharp contrasts like African Blackwood, ebony, Zircote or some pretty BEM.
This thread is making Pink Ivory into too much of a no problem wood. It takes a long time to air dry and by the time it does you'll be left with relatively short pieces. Just try finding a 30" square that is dry. Furthermore, if you push this wood; it will split or crack while turning in places you never thought it would. Today two cents
