In his splendid role as Kaptin Scarlett the Wand Maker Chris Barnardo spent some time tarnishing a Kymera Wand so that it looks like it was made of ivory or bone.

He also offered use to use the images and text, so we’d love to quote from the instructables introduction:
This instructable will show you how to make (almost) anything look like old ivory or bone. The technique I have used is also called distressing. I am distressing (you might want to call it a creative hacking) my beloved Kymera Wand. However you got one, hacking a $90 gadget takes some guts, but I think the result speaks for itself and you end up taking something original and turning it into something completely unique.
Below you can see how the wand is transmogrified in 13 well documented steps from being your usual wooden colored magical instrument to an elegant creamy white beauty.
Please look at the instructable and comment and rate it or comment here. And spread the word, it is worthwhile.
Before starting you should perhaps consider the Chris’ last words:
At last it is time to remove the masking tape and review your handiwork.
Phew, either it looks fab or you have just ruined a hundred dollars of high tech wizardry. Perhaps it might have been better to practice on an old wooden spoon first. …
If you don’t like what you see, mask up and go back to step one and start again… remember as it says on the Kymera Wand manual…
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
