I believe turpentine is often used in leather products for that purpose, and also to keep waxes soft, especially in shoe polish. Smells nice too.

Learning is good and it is fun to save something, but when does the point of no return enter the picture?

My wife says the point of no return is when me undies look like this..
Regarding the soaking, remember to roll the belt flat often as it dries with a glass bottle and board..

Oh No! I'm afraid your lovely bride is misinformed--There's years of life left in those undies!!! Originally Posted by MikeB52

And now for something... completely different.
I may have been over this before but how about a poll:
So I cut out blanks for the Christiensen (or one anyway and then dinner was on the table and then the hockey game started but whatever) and this old petrified live oak has these natural inclusions in it.
You can see they look like cracks and technically I guess they are but they are naturally occurring as the wood cures. I have left them and I have filled them and both have advantages.
How about opinions on which to do just for fun?Montgomery likes this.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

When the scales get thin enough I think the cracks would create weak points so I would fill them.

The wood looks like it would be a good candidate for a vacuum chamber and stabilizing resin.
