Well Rick, if you're suggesting it's not whalebone, probably you could enlighten what you know to be or have been told to be. I'd be interested and conclusive corrections would be very welcomed. My comments were based on description and I acknowledge there's a possiblilty of error.

The wrangka I have is fairly porous although I wouldn't describe it as "ridiculously porous". But why do you opine WB as "very unusual and not a great material to use"?
