From: David Pritchard To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Sunday, January 10, 2010 9:03 PM Subject: [pianotech] Ivory What do you guys and gals do with all the chipped ivory heads when you replace the ivory with plastic? Well, for years I have saved it ALL and wondered why. Of course the good stuff gets used for keyboard repairs, but what to do with the five gallon buckets filled with damaged stuff? A couple years ago I started 'doing' a couple crafts shows each season selling original miniature oil paintings (a previous career in art education) and painted ivory jewelry (necklaces and earrings - flowers, lighthouses, ships, seashells, holly and poinsettias at the holidays). Sell lots for far less than I should, but then...it's fun. Debbie L. Rockport, MA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
