Sigh. No one believes me. sniff. But the Florilegium is a good place to start 
a search. Looking in one of the three files I mentioned, horn-msg turns up
the following message:

...  I DON't know
how to polish it, but I will agree with the need to seal it by some means
(in one of the leatherwork Compleat Anachronists there's a recipe for a 
pitch sealer that's probably better even than wax)...

This is at least a starting point. The Compleat Anachronists have a spotty 
record for accuracy and referances, but the bibliography or footnotes of this one
might be a good place to start.

PS: However the organization of the Florilegium is sometimes haphazard having
been continually adapted over time. Even I don't always know which is the best
file to look in first.
