“About twenty years ago the people used things for filling oats which were called bones.”
About twenty years ago the people used things for filling oats which were called Bornes (Bodhrán). My father told me how they were made. When a sheep would die the people would pull the wool off it. When they have this done they would skin it. Then they would get a round piece of timber and leave it on the skin. Then they would twist the skin around the timber. Then they would hang it up on a dry place until the skin would get hard.
