I have used a rivet with the head as an embellishment. Or drill a
hole and make a baile for a pedant. I have used "Goop"or Shoe maker’s
glue,both easily available, since they don’t produce a hard bind so
they don’t shear when struck a blow. I have not tried the glues on
Ivory but they are worth a try and will both be a valueable addition
to your bench. Bill from L.I.
