I have purchased from Rothco in the UK before and they are fine but I am just wondering where else you can get sheets big enough to to end graphs. I found one place in MN but the smallest sheet they had is almost $800 bucks! wow7-eyes

Big enough to make bindings with but still... Dang. And it was like $130 for Chinese import tariff and another $130 for Hazmat.

They have straight grained and curly ivoroid and some tortoise sheets. I have never dealt with them, but they may be a source for small sheets and pick guard material.

yes they do....2",4" etc.

If you place an order and talk to Bill James the owner he can get you any size you want.
Unfortunately you have to pay the $37 hazmat fee

Why can't someone make these out of some non hazardous material?

What is dome?

My guess is that it would not look quite the same. I love the look of Ivoroid and it's easy to install too!

Yes- would not be cellulose nitrate. And I love the camphor smell when scraping the material - sort of spicy.

Trust me, I do too and also love the smell of lacquer. I know it's bad bad but it smells like candy to me. If my wife wasn't sensitive to it I would continue to use it but alas, it's EM6000 for this one.

Nitro smells great, gives me an instant headache. I guess that’s the brain cells dying but it sure is more-ish, like the smell of fine vintage leaded gasoline
