Thread: Cleaning bone and other materials

I have used Maas on all the handles I have ever cleaned on the outside. This includes bone, ivory, plastic, bakelite and celluloid. I rub on a glop across the whole handle and then rub it off with a soft cloth. Really gets the tarnish off the pins and bolsters as well. For the inside, I use a toothbrush and dish soap. Lynn

Thank you, Lynn. The Geneva is pretty darn clean, but the W&B is pretty darn cruddy. Once I get them all ship-shape, I think sending them to you for honing would be a good move. Do you have a backlog yet?

If you'd prefer to talk about that stuff via PM or e-mail, let me know. And hey, I just noticed that you're about four hours north of me. I'm in Cincinnati.
