[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 153602, member: 2417"]I was reading up on an article where a dealer had used a power buffer on antique Tortoiseshell and it had obliterated all the character from the pieces, Also as you say you have to be careful, It doesn't do for Tortoiseshell to get hot. I'll check out the Mineral oil too. I think though that if the Tortoiseshell is buffed after treating with Olive oil it shouldn't cause any problems :)[/QUOTE]
