Gabe,

Phwar! I reckon you know far more than I, and have a mountain more experience.

A lot of mine is in the head also, I do have piles of notes but they are stored deep for the present. That limits my input, because folk will end up with only half the story.

The subject is so deep that I don't think I'll ever stop learning. The more complicated we get with it though, the more we move away from true linseed oil finishes which is your post topic here, and they give a very nice finish indeed. I think it is wise to limit the headaches and complexities.

Anyhow thanks for posting it all. No rush on the email, time short here too.
