I think it's polyester based. Very soft.

I've never tried Prather's Alternative Ivory but I have tried the same named stuff from Masecraft and found it to brittle to use any place that it would have unprotected edges such as a joint or butt cap.

Not sure about the prather alternative ivory, but I have used the Elforyn from Atlas an it rocks, easy to cut and has a nice hit too.

when it comes to alternative to ivory, elforyn gets my vote..Good for joint and buttcup as well..

I bought some of the same stuff from mascraft and I can't use it either. It will break too easy. I use it for hoppe rings in cheaper cues for ppl that don't want to pay extra for ivory. I put it on a cue for a joint and every pass no matter how small a pass I take the edges chip out. So I cut it off.

Elforyn is the way to go . A bit pricey , but machines and glues well and looks the part of ivory without the degradation .

Elforyn is ok until you get a piece with pin holes. I've had rod and plate with it in it. And who ever thinks it looks like ivory, sure hasn't seen much ivory.

The stuff you bought will work fine. I've used it for years...JER
