You might think that more paintings would show this worn spot from the
LF, but they don't. One important
photos, the one with the floral ebony

The fellow I got it from Sterling Price claims if you rest your LF there

Mirecourt makers with bone.
I do make a very good bone broth soup, and then I give the bones to my

soak them in bleach for a few minutes. They are only large enough for nuts
and saddles on guitars though.

reconditioned? God forbid!
