Tordonshell Monograph
My original work on artificial tortoiseshell was presented in Amsterdam almost exactly twenty years ago. I think the conference publication was about eighteen months later.
Here is the link for the PDF on my “Writings” page:

One of the outcomes from my current developments will be an updated and more detailed monograph to be posted in that same directory. I’m also noodling a video on the whole process. My videographer Chris is now much harder to schedule, with a full-time job, a new/old house, and a wife and two tiny kids, so I will probably try to figure out how to do two-camera filming in the studio. My digital SLR has a microphone port so I think all I need to do is start figuring things out.
Stay tuned.
P.S. I will probably make some full blown tordonshell in the coming fortnight based on my latest results.
Hi Don,
I’m looking forward to the results. I’ve been fascinated with how you make this stuff since I first read one of your posts about it. Ditto to the ivory substitute you found and posted about a long time ago.
Best,
Patrick
