        OK.  They are on the bench…

        Did a pretty good job of protecting the wood….

        And a nice patina on the nails….

          I then gave each sample the well known and time honoured 20 squeeze and bend treatment….

            And the only sample to suffer any significant damage was the one that had had no treatment…

                        Ahahah what the hell is that music. I know it's premature but I gotta say I think LP is the winner…

                                This thread is the sort of thing that really sets Giles apart from other retailers.  Such a cool idea.  Thanks, G!

                                  ^Amen to that! And I agree with Seul, LP for the win.

                                      I think LP looks the best too, but olive oil is a close 2nd…

                                            +1 for LP. I think the olive oil looks good, but I'm not sold. Great results though. What a cool idea.
