<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rabid Collector, post: 720464, member: 11189&quot;]Thanks for the confirmation. The tambour doesn’t actually have a backing; it’s sticks of wood tightly threaded together and it runs along a groove which curves into a space under the pencil section so I think it probably is original. It could also be ebonised rather than ebony which would explain how the tambour could be made in this way as the wood might be softer and more flexible than ebony.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
