606Ccleaned.jpgAfter cleaning91 viewsThis is about as clean as it needs to be. If I really want the plane bed cleaner, I'll soak it in a sink full of Simple Green, and use a green scrubbing pad. All screws cleaned and waxed threads with Parowax, and I waxed both surfaces of the frog bed.madwing

606Ctote.jpgRosewood Tote, 606C72 viewsIt was pretty well dirty, so I soaked it in BLO/Turps/Beeswax mix for an hour, then rubbed it clean with 0000 steel wool. Some paint spots remained, so I cleaned them off with a razor blade, and then finished it off with more wax and 0000 steel wool.madwing
