Not wishing to upset anyone here, I stopped using ivory, a high-end traditional material for fan makers, many years ago.

However, never having found a good alternative, and my early life experience in the plastics industry never pointed me towards a ready-made one, I've recently started to wonder if the EG approach might work at small scale.
The desired raw material needs to be cast with a 1mm thickness, perhaps 25mm wide, and 200mm long, and capable of being cut with a piercing saw.

Does anyone have any experience of working at this sort of scale ?

Regards all,
John
