Thread: Working with realL Turtle Shell -Questions

I did a google search on tortoise shell sometime back researching a Case Bros razor I acquired with TS scales. I found an article that said that items made with tortoise shell, back then, were laminated, pressed together with heat, to form it into combs, scales, guitar picks, whatever. So it is cut to shape, layers pressed together with heat and maybe moisture. Hope this helps .... and that it is correct.

Its going on the wall. If anything people will ask where it came from or how I got it. I am going back to the Faux Tortoise slabs I can get from Mascraft without having to cut or press anything.

Since this post no longer has anything to do with the Workshop can it be thrown into the General Conversation area please. Thanks Mods.
