Thx Tom,tons of Great info on working with Ivory.one point,Ivory is really not as fragile as most people think it is,I would rather redo Ivory than old bakilite or even celluloid.Actually.I have never cracked an Ivory scale (knock on wood)I do very little rescaling anymore but the biggest challanges I find are coloring a new scale to match an old scale,can be done but thats a whole differant animal.
I think you are very much on the inside loop on that. If you wanted to do a tutorial on that I would follow that with bated breath too.
