[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 10236572, member: 2417"]I only use wax on T/shell, I don't think it gives a good finish on wood. I bought an early Tortoiseshell box a couple of years ago that was damaged, missing corners and pieces gone here and there, I saw the potential though, it was the first time I tried wax to repair T/shell, it occurred to me that it shouldn't be too difficult to match the shades, it looks very nice now :)[/QUOTE]
