Great job on the cleanup of all of those!! I love the color of the wood bodies!! Do you clean the wood first? If so , what do you use? Thanks, Lou
Howdy Lou,on the bodies I will use a fine wood sandpaper followed by 500 grit wet/dry with an orbital sander...Corners,handles and wooden tongue manually sanded to suit...1 coat of Linseed oil well rubbed in with a light surface coat left wet...I will then lightly heat them at about 5 ft from a gas heater on low ...rotiserate after 30 mins...after another 30 mins. remove and wipe down thoughly...wrap up in the oil rags You have used and put aside for 2 days...then top coat with a 60/40 mix of Polyureathane/Linseed oil.This combination may take 3 days to set off...a very light,quick 800 grit sand and recoat with a 60/40 mix of Polyureathane/Linseed oil...Let dry off for 4 days in a warm light room...Lightly rub down with the oil rag...this is the exact procdure used above...no staining that is the Colour of underlying wood...Manual work and Time...Regards Peter.
Hello, Peter. Impressive technique, and the end result reflects your passion & skill for restoring/rescuing these tools!! Regards, Lou
