Hi everyone,
I'm an absolute novice to the world of lathes and turning, but am in the process of planning the construction for an art deco style desk i'm hoping to build in the next year or so.
As the desk i'm basing my design on uses ivory in its handles, escutcheons and foot caps, i'm wondering whether a possible natural alternative might be giant clam shell (Seems convenient since its dense, white and seems fairly stable + i've got a decent sized half of one).
Before i build my hopes up however, i thought it was best to ask the experts on here whether any one has had any experience with any similar materials and if so, whether there are any issues i should be aware of aside from the dangers of breathing in shell dust.
