That gal has some tough "dreads".
No - celluloid
I thought that too..
....but I'm glad you asked, cos I don't know what celluloid is:redface: I thought celluloid was the stuff that old movie were made from:biggrin:
The very same. It was also used for pens, but is still somewhat of a flammable hazard, a pain to ship and which I think it is why most pen companies switched to other plastics. Americanartplastics.com has a few varieties. The ivory has a very similar grain to casein. Pretty easy to machine and smells like camphor. It also has a nice feel.

Beautiful work Bruce. Be careful, though. If you get any more anatomically correct I might have to confiscate the pen!!!!!

Fantastic piece of work Bruce!
Thanks - no spring steel, just silver. I have used several methods in the past, but lately I've been making a washer style attachment with a tab and soldering it to the back of the clip. What I recently learned is that hardening the silver by heat treating makes a world of difference. 2 hours at 650 F does the trick for me. Its now my standard.
