Those are GORgeous, Tiki King! They're art! Is "ivoroid" a word? (I guess it is now!) |

Man, them ukes be bad!! I'm saving up now to get one. Nice looking work. I was tearing it up at the Lagoon Lounge (â„¢AlnShellyProductions) tonite on my Island Ukulele made in Kauai by Raymond Rapozo. One of those "Tiki" ukes would certainly be a hit here. Thanks for the link! Soon, O' King, soon. |

Yep. It is the "trade" name of a type of yellowish celuloid that is grained to resemble ivory. it has been around for years. It is used for binding, trim and tuning pegs on Ukes, (and guitars, etc.) but I have also seen it used in vintage hand mirrors, combs, brushes, stuff like that. it is also called "ivorine" and "French Ivory" |
