All those timber/bone/bullhorn burnishers are just one more of those "for leatherworking" specialist items that don't really have a practical reason of existence. Other than workshop aesthetics maybe I have a collection of old porcelain insulators that I use. All sorts of different sized "grooves" for any size project. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

Sounds like for a full range of burnishers I only need a spark plug from my Dodge C/V, one from a Farmall and one from a Cessna 150 Quote
