Really nice!

Actually, no. I changed the design and made it 3 dice they were prone to slipping so I added a little (too much actually but it's a personal build so I don't care to fix it) but of super glue to hold them in place.

Really nice. Did you screw the dice to the bowl from the bottom?

Comment by Fomhorach on June 20, 2016 at 11:26pm

Yup. Might use some for that sometime. I had a bag of 50 too ;)

well  .  not  "ivory  "  but  hard  heavy  porcelain / glass like/  tile   stuffamagggy .

anyway   shipping  would probably  make  it non economically  viable  :-( .

  but  dice  make   great vol knobs  too.  ;-)

The ivory Dom's? Lucky you. I've been keeping my eye out in thrift shops for bake-o-light objects from the 30's-60's. I think that stuff could be a true winner.

well .  if  ya   want  more  dice  i   have a bag  of about  90   ,  got a set  of   hard  white  doms  too  .

Edit.. I've been trying to find nice real ivory dominoes.. But they are so rare and expensive I'm considering using my own teeth

Comment by Fomhorach on June 20, 2016 at 4:19pm

Yeah. I read somewhere that plastics were too soft and ceramics were hard to work with (but preferable for strength and lightness) then I remembered somewhere reading that dice often used hardened plastics so that they feel, sound and bounce like bone. Actually, they are not bad acoustically (and have a nice trade off with looks).
