Eh. Thanks for your help man.

I can't believe how slowly I am doing this oiling though... hahaha... its scary. Afraid of some slip up...

 

[sepultura]

Wow, Shred, it's looking better and better every time. I'm getting a really really bad case of DIY-gas now.

*must ... control ... must ... control ... *

After recent acquisitions, if I start now, wife will beat me on the head with it - the heavier the wood the more dangerous to my health
