Has anybody turned a brush handle using imitation ivory. I'm looking for tips on turning and finishing. I know that Rudy Vey has. They sell two version:

Haven't turned it but this looks like a better price.

There are a few other suppliers that cary them and may have different lengths.

I haven’t turn any either but I’ve seen a brush and some pens made from it and they were gorgeous. Here’s an even better price, long enough for 2 handles.

Bob at Elite Razor uses some lovely imitation Ivory.
Use very sharp tools and fine abrasives.
How about fake ivory sheets for scales? Any sources?

The source I posted should have what you're looking for.
Masecraft supply has good alt. ivory as well. I've made a few from it and it's easy to turn and polishes really well. I'd make sure your tools are sharp (or use negative rake carbide cutters for ease) and turn it fairly fast.
