Can't help it, skinner with ivory mycarta scales

Good job with a difficult handle material, William.

Don, it was no problem to work, don't know if they changed the formula or what, but all I did was try to work it clean, ie. clean hands and water, then buffed with a clean wheel. Don't know if I just held my mouth right or what, but this was much easyer than the last time I worked ivory mycarta, no pores at all.

Just possible the manufacturer has been listening to a few years of complaints, and decided to do something about it, I guess...
