This just totally blew my mind. Apologies for the swearing - but hey, we're all adults here!

50,000 years, and still the same tool...

Love it. Definitely one of the appeals of leatherworking for me is the sense that these materials and tools can be used to make something that’s been being made forever, or something totally new. Endless possibilities even with a limited toolset.

And now, as a result of this discussion, I just had a package delivered to me with no fewer that FOUR bone burnishers/creasers in it! :thumbsup:

My sincere thanks to my Tolkien fellowship friend, Elengil! 

Anyone need a couple of folders? It will take me more than a lifetime to wear these out, so might as well pay it forward!
