I have purchased from Rothco in the UK before and they are fine but I am just wondering where else you can get sheets big enough to to end graphs. I found one place in MN but the smallest sheet they had is almost $800 bucks!  Big enough to make bindings with but still... Dang. And it was like $130 for Chinese import tariff and another $130 for Hazmat. |

https://www.ebay.com/itm/191837290069?h ... SwA3dYWpyb They have straight grained and curly ivoroid and some tortoise sheets. I have never dealt with them, but they may be a source for small sheets and pick guard material. |

Why can't someone make these out of some non hazardous material? |

Yes- would not be cellulose nitrate. And I love the camphor smell when scraping the material - sort of spicy. |

Trust me, I do too and also love the smell of lacquer. I know it's bad bad but it smells like candy to me. If my wife wasn't sensitive to it I would continue to use it but alas, it's EM6000 for this one. |

Nitro smells great, gives me an instant headache. I guess that’s the brain cells dying but it sure is more-ish, like the smell of fine vintage leaded gasoline |
