Quite a while back, I saved the name of Nelson Woodworking, ( 601 West Main Road, Little Compton, RI 02837. tel. 401-635-4733) as a source for bone keytop material. I have a customer who really wants to save her ivory keytops, but they are way beyond saving. I'd like to know if anyone here has used the bone material for keytops. My questions are: Is this comparable to plastic from a price standpoint? (I haven't called Nelson Woodworking yet) Is the material hard to work with? Does it look reasonably like ivory? Do any of the people who sell key recovering jobs use the bone material? Thanks for any help. Gordon Large Maine (And thanks to all who sent suggestions on my Billings Flange traveling problem. The 2 plier method worked well. I still haven't installed the hammers because I never seem to get time in the shop, but(t) <sorry> I'm probably 80 to 90% done with the traveling.)
