Hey is that true oil as good as thin CA for soaking deeper into scales for a shallow stabilizing? Reason I ask is that I'm looking for a flexible finish that soaks in deep and so I can get away without having to do a "real" stabilization... but still get that deeper absorption that the thin CA does.

Yeah, that was funny! I had to go into the hospital a few years back for a Ventral Hernia, (lump on my stomach). The guys from the shop at the Harley dealer I was working for came to see me & they smuggled beer into the room & were drinking (I wasn't) but a nurse came in & saw the garbage can full of empty beer cans & said that it wasn't allowed, she was upset. One of them went back downstairs to get more beer & they drank more after that but it was too funny...........
Glad you're back home outback!

Glad you are outa there and back home, outback! Slow on the work, now!

Oh yeah, I meant to say to JOB15, excellent work on your first set of scales. They're beautiful!!! I have some cocobolo I want to use for some scales & i think it will be very good to work with. Great work!

Thats hilarious...
Always seems we've got buddies like that.
Had one stop by the house after my first trip to the hospital. Brought a little illegal stuff with him.
Told him I couldn't believe it. Should have brought a semi auto to play russian roulette with.
Stupid idiot... He knows I gave that shit up years ago.

Would have killed me for sure.

I don't blame ya Mike. After going through what you have been through, I wouldn't even suggest it! You did the right thing.

The right thing...
Should have took it from him and threw it in the yard.

Thank you for the involvement, scope of projects, and diversity of works tackled.
Started with, and should always return to the projects with the most challenges, or least chance of success, or most unorthodox methods used, IMO.
It's awesome learning from, and with all of you that have, and continue to contribute.

Thanks!
