Around 50 years ago I bought a Balinese carving from Makassar ebony in a shop on Queensland's Gold Coast, it is about a 5" cube. I got it cheap because it had a long crack that at its widest was about 5/16ths of an inch.
I soaked this carving in boiled linseed for an extended period, I forget how long, but I waited until the crack had closed. That crack is still closed. |
