Old Style Leather Buttons

[Paul Chick]

List members:

A client wants the original leather buttons installed on his ebony grand.
They are glued into a specially shaped hole in the lid, etc.  Wasn't there
an article in the PTJ about how to make/replace these bumpers.  Some of them
were lost in the veneer repair stages.  I usually fill the old holes and use
a stem bumper that's available through supply houses.  But he wants to stay
as original as possible.  Right now, all I have is  modified spade bits for
the convex and concave profiles to form the holes.
