Chaps,
I have had returned a very old table (bought back from India around 1942? by my paternal grandparents) that has ivory inlay. Unfortunately some has
fallen out over the years and I'm debating whether to replace or leave.
Now, I can't (and wouldn't) use ivory, so is there an alternative that will match perfectly (carvable/colour/texture etc), or do you think I
should just leave it as "it adds character" 
Cheers
ATB

You could try Ivorine. Its close to ivory and is what i use at work when making church organ parts, but i would think it would stick out like a sore thumb if you tried to match it into some existing ivory.
You can legally use mammoth ivory if you can get it in sizes appropriate for the job in hand.
Keys from a scrap piano ?
