Same actually, it didn’t look quite how I expected but it actually has some very fine grain patterns that don’t show up well in the pictures. With the way it’s finished it almost looks more like some kind of shiny gem stone than bone, but maybe that’s how ivory always looks. I also have a Ralf aust that I put bison bone scales on and they definitely look more matte and “boney” for lack of a better word…

It’s great! It’s actually my third Koraat (I also have an 8/8 near wedge “basic” and a 7/8 full hollow “purist”…it’s safe to say I’m an addict). Here are some pics Ulrik took (hopefully they upload OK):
