Tombstone slab belonging to Brian Thomas (Abilene, TX.)
Bootmakers often use a flat, smooth marble granite or marble slab as a surface upon which to... pound newly-pieced boot pulls flat, carve designs into damp leather, or skive (thin) small pieces of leather inlay.

You're absolutely right! Thanks Nancy, I made the correction.
