Francois mentioned an interesting oil- has anyone seen this formulation
available commercially?

>The oil I use is a solution of Paraphine oil, almond oil and orange peel
essence. We use this at Buffet when we have the instrument in the vat
before we work on it. The orange peel essence is like a acide reaction to
the wood that will soak out the dirth you have on the fiber and then the
oil will take the place. I like it because it is natural and it is not
hurting the wood like some petroleum solution that is to hard ( this is
only my opinion).
