Searching around and trying to settle on a material from which to make ferrules I came up this. It's easily and inexpensively available on eBay, for example, a 15mm x 12" rod for about $10.50, inclusive of shipping.
It looks nice, apparently bagpipe makers use is as an ivory substitute. It's available in sizes suitable for joints and butts, too.
Any thoughts, opinions, experience with this?
Thanks,
jv
