Anyone treated their ivory or antler with mineral oil before turning or finishing?
I read that soaking them in mineral oil for days or boiling (in a double boiler) helps prevent cracking due to humidity changes but the ivory/antler will have an aged look (opaque like and not white).
I guess depending on what you want, it could be a good or bad thing.
Input anyone?
Thanks!
