For Cordovan leather. Boning is a traditional polishing method whereby wax is applied to the footwear and then brought to a high shine by vigorous rubbing with a deer bone. It is important to use shoe/ boot trees when using this method, in order to have a firm surface against which the leather can be positioned, and so that the footwear's shape is maintained during the process.
To use: Simply brush shoes and wipe with a rag, then take the bone and using the central shaft of the bone (never the ends), rub the smooth rounded side in a gentle but firm circular or back and forth motion. Five minutes of rubbing like this can bring up a great shine and remove creases and scratch marks.
Never use the sharp ends or sides of the bone on your shoe leather, only use the smooth rounded length of the bone.
Try on a small less visible area with caution initially.
Size: varies, but typically 200mm long
MATERIAL: Natural Deer bone
