A Portfolio of Tordonshell

I recently went through my inventory of tordonshell to see about matching some for a friend’s project.

I can make it pretty much any way I want, matching almost any pattern or dimension required.

At this point I am always working out the finer details, such as toughness, longevity and so on, and experimenting with different chemicals to perform the same functions as those I use already.  One of these days I hope to derive the perfect method for re-creating traditional tortoiseshell guitar picks.

If I get all the compewder stuff right I will post my 2003 article on the subject early next week.  I have scanned it and am now formatting it and trying to get the transfer to the host server right.  Wish me luck.
