scouring Explanation: I don't think the definition of Bimsen ist correct. A Bimsstein is a purnice stone, and this site seems to confirm that bimsen refers to some kind of leather treatment: Leder mit vollem, natürlichen Narben, wie er nach Entfernung der Epidermis sichtbar wird. Der Narben wird weder durch Bimsen noch durch Schleifen oder Spalten verändert. http://www.halfs.de/Neue_Dateien/lexikonlede.html IMO, this corresponds to the act of 'scouring' as described here: · Scouring the edges or bottom Rubbing it with a rubbing stone [Holme, 1688] Found this in a truly excellent and very comprehensive research glossary: http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/shoe/RESEARCH/G... The definition of Bimsen must refer to something else, maybe to: · Inseaming ("The Sewing") 1. "Sewing on the sole" Sewing the Insole to the welt or rand. [Holme, 1688] 2. The sewing together of uppers, insole and welt. [Goubitz, 2001] from the above glossary.
