    I have only ever sanded new wood. Typically the "problem" is just a buildup of wax, oil, sweat, etc. giving the wood an almost plastic like layer. My goal is to preserve the color as much as possible, but make the wood feel like wood again. I like baker's idea of Alkanet root to help maintain the "depth" of color that is underneath all the grime. I'll be doing my own experiments for sure.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I can view all (3) pages of the THREAD, but you must not have been signed-in here at the time you copied them over. I guess it's just to demo that it's possible, but would be better without all the ads. - Bob
