k...mine is pretty dry...about three weeks into the process.  I didn't get a chance to cut it up today.  I'll try and do that and post pics.  
I've kept mine on the kitchen widow sill so that might have helped it dry a little faster.

Rolled the black one out to `1/8" thick, about right for punching out fingerboard dots with a 1/4" plug cutter with minimal waste.  It would have warped less if it was thicker.  Still waiting (one week so far) for either chunk to dry enough to be workable.

Wow...I don't think that mine warped that much.  Nice color on the interior though.  I bet you could take white (no color) and mix it with red and get tortoise shell.

Experiments with dye added before vinegar.  Interesting how much this stuff warps as it dries, almost like a taco shell.

Shouldn't drink milk and eat pickles.  Shit man, is that why I am so constipated????

Go onto EBay and search for casein buttons.  The colors and variety of the vintage stuff is mind-boggling.  Looks like you can add dye into the plastic before it hardens.  Why limit yourself to white or black inlay?

"Does this mean that you shouldn't eat pickles and drink milk at the same time? ;)"

 

I guess it could explain the constipation....

Cool!! Vinegar and steel wool can be used as a wood stain too.

It's a simple recipe for basic school glue. Add some temp and some baking soda and you get closer to Super Science Saturday. http://m.wikihow.com/Make-Glue-out-of-Milk
