Ive become very enamoured with pledge lately for wood. Nothing to harsh, safe for many types of finish, and above all cheap and relatively easy to get. Ive been meaning to give RenWax a try, but Ive become far too absent minded in the care of my blades.

I keep telling myself one day Ill go through everything, and fix stuff. Oh well...

I've had a late 19th Century Meiji Tobbako Ire (sp?-Meiji Japanese Tobbacco Purse/Pouch).It's crafted of leather,mixed metals,ivory,etc. I want to freshen up the leather -so I check out the Civil War collectors,the Smithsonian Q&A , the Antique Forums,et al.Restoration,being a science and an art, is a witheringly confusing field.When You include Museum Curators in the discussion,You have to try to forecast the stability of a product into the next millenia.Luckily,I don't have to worry too much about My pouch,I dont think it has overwhelming historical significance. However,if I ever unearth a Leigonnaires Helmet in old town Jerusalem.....
