Hi, just bought some Desert ironwood scales to attempt a western rehandle and not having used it before i just wanted to check with the collective consciousness.
The scales, (not bought from anyone on her btw) appear to have a number of checks in them and some splitting around a knot. None of this was visible in the pics, and before i ask about returns i just wanted to check whether DI is particularly prone to checking and is therefore part and parcel of using it, if so i'll consider keeping them and filling the cracks with CA glue.
Get the feeling i've got some duds though............
