Before the colonels secret recipe! In about 12 months maybe the colonels apprentice might have nearly finished.

Can you please change the thread title. When I am searching for this in 6 months I won't be able to find it

Just think cryptically Trevor

So going by the title, I am thinking you are going to add weight to it Dave.

Fat and salt aren't going to help on this one!

Don't do much for the chicken either.

So I rub chicken salt and fat into my stock. How many coats?

Do I hand rub it with those silly alcohol wipes?

Raven it wont work without the 11 secret herbs and spices

the last time I did a stock I sanded it for 7 hours, this 1 maybe an hour 15, the differance is really noticable once you but the oil on. I used to have a lot more time and was not in a hurry for that stock, this 1 I am.
Here is my progress so far after 1 coat.

Starting to look very nice

I am a touch slower at applying coats than Camel but here is my stock after 5 coats.

Just another 25 to go

I have been talking o the colonel a little bit lately and he has now given me a few tips on how to cook the chook, not just the recipe! All 3 pieces started out the same, the light coloured 1 is untouched and half way through sanding.
The other 2 have been done with the same recipe but applied differently, the next lightest 1 has had around 30 coats and the dark 1 is on its first. They look completely different(better) in the sun.

Yeah, its amazing how much a little oil will change a piece of nice wood into a piece of very nice wood. Its one of the things in life that you actually get more out of than you put in. Lookin good Dave.

You are doing real well there
