Hi
I have leaves (segments) of sea turtle inly salvaged from sea turtle killed in boat accident.
Has anyone had any experience in using this for inlay,Sofening and shopping and gluing?

Unlikely as tortoiseshell was banned under CITES in the 70s. It's an offense to sell or trade it. I don't know about possessing it.
