bought two blocks from Mark. The other is now where I store my knives, and will remain there for a while. It's coated, and I'm thinking that I may sand of the coating to allow it do what ever it is going to do, and just see what happens.
There are some things with this Musk Ox issue that just don't add up.
If the stuff has been through the stabilization process it shouldn't need to be coated for storage because the stabilization process is supposed to take care of the drying out issues, it's also supposed to prevent shrinkage. I have a feeling the folks that are stabilizing this stuff are learning as they go because if you read some of the technical aspects of the stabilization process, the process should totally prevent shrinkage. Bottom Line: It all doesn't add up.
