[Sca-cooks] cleaning bone handled utensils

[Stefan li Rous]

Through the Florilegium I recently got the following message. I 
couldn't be of much help since I don't have any files on cleaning bone 
handled utensils, although I have one on the care of horn utensils and 
one for wooden utensils and one on working with bone.

I have Russ' permission to post his inquiry here. I think any comments 
might be of interest to folks here, as well. Please remember that he is 
not on this list, so email him directly or copy him on any reply you 
send to this list.
