Ari I left a short message on the 4@4 thread re Black cheery and Linseed.
I thank you for the Reverence to wood (which I have not read, I brought a copy today,and am looking forward to reading when it arrives.)
My mothers family were Wheelwrights and wagon builders, (George Sturts the wheelwrights shop is a classic read, mixing both woodworkers secrets with some rye country wit)
All the best to you and yours Cheers.
Ps Busby if you look in Apologies for over looking your post.(It seems we do indeed share a passion, and its sounds like a nice little project to do. Thanks for sharing) Take care now and Cheers!
