Forum Suggestion

If its possible I would like to suggest that board members be allowed to award points to others who recreate fantastic objects such as Jeff Js chair project.

On another forum I am on we are able to award "Laudes" points to other members for contributing information, or reconstructions.

Jeff I just refinished a 1717 French military musket this weekend, and I sealed the wood with beeswax. How do you get the wax to soak into the wood? Do you warm it? or is there something with the ammonia you used? Thanks, Paul BTW I will PM you my address so you can send this wonderful chair to me.
