I always enjoy aging whatever I make, gives it a "not just from the showroom" look.
Depends on what kind of material you have for "imitation ivory". Is it a parchment based or plastic based material?
If it is a parchment based, soaking it in coffee gives it a good aged stain look, like it's been handled for many years. For a plastic based material you could try ochre or sepia tone (light colors first) inks to stain it. Go slowing and allow the ink to dry completely before adding more.

Ferdi, The dominos looks very much like bone in the photo. If you sliced it in half in thickness it seems it would be just righr for inlay and along with the aging process should look great !
Very creative!

Thanks Chaz. First peace is in the tiller. The top front, heavy work to chisel it out. now i have to cover the sides, and like u said i have to cut it thinner. But it sands real easy so i might just glue it on and sand it down, dusty work.
I dont know how it translates to english but i tried aging it wit a dark brown wood stain, like making coffee stains, ill show it when i have covered the whole top of the tiller.
The domino's are really hard and if i make it to thin they brake real easy, cant bend it so have to sand any curves.
Dont know what kind of plastic it is but it gives really fine dust.
Wich i can mix with glue to fix chips.
These little white guys keep amazing me![b]

By the way, dont look at the mess, i clean up when i finish this bow!

Ferdi,
No excuses for the shop................. you can either spend your time getting something done or cleaning up the shop. I think you are doing great! I say that it is a security measure,,,,,,,,,, I know where everything is in my shop but intruders however would get frustrated and just leave. Don't forget to use dust protection. Looks like you are going to have nice results for your efforts !

Ferdi.
If you have access to a bandsaw and make an appropriate jig fixture you maybe able to slice the dominos. Just a thought.

Ferdi,
How about a private message to AboMickey about a roller nut from a cue ball ? An all white cue ball looks very much like bone, might go well with your build.
