Vencetmat 3 Set of 6Pcs Unbleached Blank & Uncut Guitar Saddles and Guitar Nut Pure Bone for Electric & Acoustic & Classical & Cigar Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo, Ukulele Part DIY

I was drawn to the product gallery photos of the nice-looking stock, so I purchased As soon as I received it, I was so disappointed. There are no usable pieces in 5 out of 6 pieces. Their dark color is due to them being made from "greasy" or "sticky" parts of the bone. As long as you know what's needed and which kind of bone is best for your instrument, you should be able to find a good solid string termination. The nut blank on the right hand side of my photo is the only one of sufficient quality to use in any way. Still, my image isn't as good as I'd like. When I hold it up to the light, I can see enough variance in densities that I wish it was In my opinion, I'd prefer to spend the same amount of money on There is no use for these. This use of bone is not appropriate for all bones. That's certainly not the case here. The disappointment and frustration are palpable. This is not what I want instrument owners with no experience to think is fine. It's not good to eat a sticky, greasy bone. To achieve a crisp, white powder when sanding or shaping the metal, you should get a dry, Sandpaper and files will be difficult to work with if these are left on. You can tell when something is junk like that. I wish everybody the best of luck! Take part in the game!.

You're dealing with bone, what do you expect?
I ordered from Amazon two orders (6 nuts, three nuts + three As far as I can tell, all of the angles are 90 degrees. In terms of measurements, you are on target. I like the tone of this. All that is left is for you to do is

The machining process allegedly left deep grooves on the bottom. Polishing my bone is what I like to do to make it Without having to take too much off, there is no way I can polish them to the way I like. The tone won't be affected though, only the As for the saddle, I wish it was a bit higher as well. By the time I sanded it down to the radius of the arc, it was pretty much the right Almost no mistake was possible, so almost no room was left.

It's great to work with these bone blanks, they're very densely packed and sound great. The one I used the other day was to make a saddle for a Kamaka Gold Label Soprano that I just restored to good This saddle was far too low due to someone filing it down. Despite its translucent appearance, the original saddle retains its quality. In addition to the other repairs I made, I was able to match the look of one of the blanks and made a new saddle that, along with the other repairs, gave the instrument a new.

I am not sure how much processing has been done to the bone blanks I received I found them to be quite yellow and In order to lighten the color of the bones, I boiled them for several hours, which drove a lot of oil from the bone. The bones were still a bit streaky and yellow for my taste, so I soaked them overnight in hydrogen peroxide. I then dried them, and they had a relatively white (though not bright white) appearance, which is what I consider unbleached bone to be.

As a result of a time constraint, I bought these products. The usual suppliers were not available for a short time. A delivery had to be made. A tight fit cannot be achieved because there is no extra material to mill off. Card stock was used to shim one of the saddles. While no complaints were received, I know that there is a narrow piece of cardboard between the wood and the bone. In the event of another similar emergency, I'll use these techniques again, but I will try not to get into a similar predicament.

As promised, the saddles arrived quickly, and the bone appears to be real and untreated. It would have been nice if they had been of different sizes, but they were all the same size. After spending a lot of time and effort, I managed to cut and sand one so that it would fit the guitar I bought it for. In contrast to plastic, bones did a much better job of holding up to the test of time.

We recently built a ukulele, and the nut and bridge needed to be a little larger than average. Bone that appears to be pure and unbleached. I cut, sanded, and polished the wood in just a few minutes. It was ideal for this application to use a larger size. Buying the three set package in case I end up building another one was a good decision.

There are no splinters or other flaws in these bone slabs, which are large and solid. This kit is useful for hand-fitting saddles and nuts to an existing guitar or for building one from scratch. Item was well packaged, arrived on time, and was exactly what I expected. The transaction was excellent.
