Nothing and everything changes with time and still stays the same. It is the embellishments we, each, give to the expression of our epoch that echo the before in a language of now. What's the old saw, "There is nothing new under the Sun."
Some interesting things, again the "resting of the blade", Crocus powder and the "Black Lead" for smoothness.
Still have to try that Lead thing...
Martin, how big is your archive now and when will the book be out?
Well you will have much better luck with lead then the mythical "resting of the blade", that said that myth does come up so often that one might be a believer.......Quote:
