General Scroll Saw Talk / Lemon oil

« on: February 15, 2022, 08:03:28 pm »

I ordered old English lemon oil from Amazon and they sent me 99 percent mineral oil lemon scented, is that ok to use as a replacement for the lemon oil. They are going to send me the lemon oil and told me to just keep the first shipment as a gift.TY Billbo

I go to cabinet makers here in NY and Florida and ask for scrap pieces. I get some beautiful stuff,oak , maple , cherry. Most are very friendly and happily give some some are not. Most everything is 3/4 inch. Some have knots . I love making something with a knot in it,it gives it character. Try asking some cabinet makers and let me know how you make out. Best part is it’s free wood.
