Ok so I made a couple ferrules from it & installed them. I haven't played with them enough to really give an opinion yet, but thus far they seem to have a medium soft feel, which is kinda cool because it tames down the sharp, edgy feeling of the tip I prefer. They are also not as noisy as many of the molded plastics I have tried. The impact isn't clicky ticky with a very hard tip, which is good. Time will tell about durability and overall playability. Will report later.
The material cuts very smooth & clean. It's solid, clean, true white. I like the color a lot for ferrules. It smells like coconut when cutting, which is a pleasant change. It sands & glues great, and gluing tips on was a breeze as the glue set just fine & holds. It's kinda like working with the older IvorineIII but better color & no pitting. And it smells better.
I also bought some Juma to try as I have read & heard lots of raves about it. I haven't tried it yet, though. Made a couple ferrules but haven't installed. It's a weird material. First notion was that it reminds me of PVC, but it cuts nothing like PVC. Not sure what to think of it yet, but i'm not totally crazy about the off-white color. Will report when I try it.
