Need help with identification of the material

[eskimo]

While going through a box in the back of my shop, I came across a blank that I can't identify and I'm hoping that the collective knowledge of this group can help me out.

I went ahead and turned the handle for the razor in the attached picture and it turned out great. The other picture is the remainder of the original blank.

It drilled, turned and smelled like Ebonite (I know, if it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck .......), but it's not like any Ebonite I've seen before.

I would really appreciate any help you can give in helping identify this material.

Thanks, Bob

I have no clue, but that razor looks AMAZING.

Looks like Invisivue

I think that's a white invisaview blank. Or something like that.

Now that I know what to look for, you guys are absolutely right. Thanks

Where the heck did you find it?

I think I have seen them at woodcraft.

Ken,

Yep, found them at woodcraft. Here you go: Search for Woodworking Supplies at Woodcraft.com. I know Ernie at Beartooth had them at one point, but I could only find one at his site.

And it is a hard material. When drilling all it would do is come out and reharden around my new sharp bit. And turning it well it was fun.
