In novels I've read, there are references to a groom or a valet "boning"
boots. In trying to find out what exactly this is, I've not really come
across a complete explanation. Some sites mention applying wax or boot
polish with a deer bone, but do not explain or describe the method or the
materials. Some boot sellers still sell deer bones for applying substances
to boots, but do not give directions as to how this should be done.
There are several pair of tall, leather riding boots in my family, so I'd
like to know how this is done. Traditional riding boots have not changed
much from military or calvery boots in the last 2 or 3 centuries, so I hope
someone here can send me a link or more detailed instructions.
Thanks!
