The White Part

[sprangalang]

What do you guys use for the white part? Ivory? Mastodon? Tagua nut? acrylic?
I saw some tampers somewhere online, that a fellow made, using some plastic material, that looked incredibly like ivory. I think it was called Simba.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

All of the above, probably. I personally have use acrylic, bone, ivory (elephant and mastadon), holly, and synthetic ivory sold mostly to pen makers. And that's just teh white stuff....

I've been making tampers for a while now and use a lot of Deer Antler. Much of it polishes to a very white ivory or pearl look.
