    Nope. Tru-oil! Not CA. Just lots of coats and sanding over and over again. I still amaze myself at times.

    Tru-oil is good stuff. I did one on horn once. Worked great there too.
    Seems like outback used it on some bog oak once? Slick!

    The neighborhood I live in is built on property where there was a tung tree plantation over a hundred years ago I think. There are still wild tung trees growing in the woods. They have a really nice blossom. They bloom in late spring and you can see them scattered through the woods.

    Edit: wild? actually I guess that would be ferel since tung trees are native to China.

    Another good choice would be invasive.

    Yeah, I thought about "invasive" but they were introduced. Things like coyotes or Cuban tree frogs (I've found them here as big as your hand by the way) that made it here on their own are usually called invasive but ferel pigs or cats which were introduced are usually considered ...well... ferel. Either one would be technically correct I guess.

    Around here we have dandelions, sparrows, ring neck pheasants, brown trout, rainbow trout, just to name a few.

    Ones people don't usually think about as being invasive because they were introduced by mankind.

    I forgot goldfish...........

    Nature in its own way tends to slowly introduce new things that replace the "old" ones for whatever reason.

    But I guess that mankind in part of nature.....

    Sorry for my off topic thoughts!
