Incudo: Premium Acrylic, Celluloid & Shell for Makers

Incudo manufacture one of the widest ranges of decorative craft materials available anywhere. From cast acrylic sheet to celluloid, shell veneer to guitar binding, their catalogue covers materials that makers across dozens of disciplines use every day — luthiers, jewellers, pen turners, knife makers, furniture builders, model makers and artists.

Cast acrylic sheets

Incudo's cast acrylic sheet range is extensive — hundreds of colours, patterns and effects including solid, translucent, pearl, marble, shimmer, tortoiseshell and custom blends. Cast acrylic is the premium choice for laser cutting, CNC routing, jewellery making, signage, display and any application where optical clarity and polish quality matter. Every sheet is cast rather than extruded, which means superior clarity, better laser-cutting results and the ability to polish to a true mirror finish. See our cast vs extruded acrylic guide for more on why this matters.

Celluloid and cellulose acetate

Celluloid sheets and cellulose acetate sheets are available in classic patterns — tortoiseshell, pearl, marble, horn and many more. These materials are essential for vintage-authentic guitar pickguards, binding, drum wraps and restoration work. Incudo's celluloid range includes all the classic guitar and drum patterns, while their cellulose acetate sheets are popular for eyewear, jewellery and decorative applications. Read our guides on what is celluloid and what is cellulose acetate for detailed material information.

Shell and stone veneers

Mother of pearl and abalone veneers, blanks and pre-cut shapes are a core part of the Incudo range. Laminate shell veneers bond a thin layer of genuine shell to a flexible backing, making them much easier to cut and apply than solid shell. They are widely used for guitar inlays, furniture decoration, jewellery and architectural accents. Reconstituted stone inlay blanks offer a more affordable and consistent alternative for larger inlay projects.

Guitar binding and purfling

Incudo produce binding and purfling strips in ABS, celluloid and wood for guitar, ukulele and mandolin building. The range covers standard widths and thicknesses as well as multi-layer laminated strips (black-white-black purfling, multi-colour bindings) for more decorative work.

Drum wraps

Celluloid drum wraps in all the classic patterns — white marine pearl, black diamond pearl, champagne sparkle, oyster and dozens more. Incudo's wraps are genuine celluloid with the depth, lustre and authenticity that PVC alternatives cannot match.

Pen blanks, knife scales and blocks

Incudo's material range extends to pen blanks, blocks and knife scale blanks in cast acrylic, giving pen turners and knife makers access to the same range of colours and patterns available in the sheet range. The blocks are also popular for bottle stoppers, small turnings and decorative items.
