I saved my old emails and this is what Doc said about the finish:

"Wood- no stain, not needed. I soak it with a thin soaking oil until the wood won't hold any more (now available at Track), let dry for 2-3 weeks then use Laurel Mtn Forge stock finish, really a very pliable varnish, putting on a coat, then steel wooling off, then repeating until slick and pretty 9maybe 6 times), then wax."

If religion is opium for the masses, the internet is a crack, pixel-huffing orgy that deafens the brain, numbs the senses and scrambles our peer list to include every anonymous loser, twisted deviant, and freak as well as people we normally wouldn't give the time of day.

Peter Alexander built a gorgeous S X S for Ed Rayl.  It is something to behold.  Also, Don Daugherty of West Virginia builts one of the sweetest S X S .410s that you will ever see.  He has won many championships with them at Friendship.  I had his last one in my hands and it is amazing to hold and to look at.
