Well there ya go, I had assumed the bone was probably used as a sanding caul and thought no more of it. Tis good to watch and learn though, thanks Matthew.matthew wrote:You're not ignorant, just observant! I was wondering when someone would ask ...
I found that the edges of the bone have a variety of different curves in them. So I use it a bit like a "french curve" to help me lay out and scribe the line of the purfling. I did tidy the edges of the bone a bit with a file in places. And first, of course, I had to cook and eat the osso bucco.
I'm surprised no-one asked about photo #3 in my last post ...
Cheers
