I can see why you are a fan Bob, that's a great looking knife!
I have some polished stag that I polished further to get it as smooth as possible. I wiped the scales with mineral oil over the course of a few days until the stag no longer soaked it up. They now have a buttery feel to them and they changed in appearance. They look like mammoth now almost.
here you go!!
Regardless of what you call it, I think "natural bone" ages pretty well ..
