    Default Faux tortoise shell how to question

    Ok so I cleaned up a couple of str8's a 5/8 W&B and a 4/8 Kraut & Dohnal in my collection that had a faux tortoise shell finish on the scales
    it actually looked like a dark varnish or something was dribbled over the light horn.

    which due to the amount of sanding required to clean them up has removed most to all of the effect on them

    my question is does anyone know how this effect was made or done it themselves as I would like to try and replace it if possible

    1 before photo then each side after
    thanks for any advice in advance
    cheers
