Ivory Substitute
- Thread starter Jim Baxter
- Start date
Arvorin , sold here on AZ in cue parts and machinery . Love the stuff .
Looks nice. I like it. 
Thanks to all............
Looking good...like everything else you do. Would you mind posting the link pen?
Thanks, Frank
The million dollar question is does it hit like ivory. I like ivory more for the hit than looks.
Jim, will this material endure being used as a Joint ? I have a beautiful szamboti tribute with a cracked ivory joint.
I'm selling the Arvorin on AZ and eBay since last year, check the link below.

Jim I am a novice with these kinda things so please don't take the wrong way I'm only asking , is this substitute the top whitesh part of the JP?. I ask because I can't recall any of my ivory having that much pronounced figuring. Am I looking at the wrong part?
I messaged the seller, I just bought some rod that wasn't figured enough
Maybe I could mix them together
I have 0 idea, what does that entail?
Pen
Here is the pen .
The figure does not show in picture , but it was beautiful .

Any time , use sharp tools , don't get to aggresive .
Depending on where you are on the tusk, the ivory grain varies. Close to the nerve, the grain is very broad, resembling thick slabs, for lack of a better term. Then, the grain pattern becomes thin sections, or lines, resembling somewhat the sample in the picture. Going farther from the nerve, the grain pattern goes back to resembling thicker slabs, sometimes hard to see, especially in a small piece, such as a ferrule. If you've ever seen an ivory cue ball, you can see all the differences in the grain pattern.
Although a bit difficult to describe, hope this helps. The sample pics somewhat resemble the usual ivory grain pattern approximately 1 1/8 inch from the nerve of the tusk.
All the best,
