Wood Nut

[pilotjones]

One item that seems to have been mentioned once but then glossed over is that on an upright, the strings are both flatwound, with extremely small space between wraps, and therefore very smooth. That makes it unlikely to to do damage to a nut that may be brittle. A roundwound is a lot like a saw (and can be used as one in some applications), and the event of one relatively coarse winding wrap being pulled over the sharp edge of a nut, under pressure, would have a far greater likelihood of doing damage to a brittle material than would a smooth flatwound.

"Linseed oil does not cover the surface as varnish does, but soaks into the (visible and microscopic) pores, leaving a shiny but not glossy surface that shows off the grain."

from the wiki article.

and your ignorance is only surpassed by your inability to admit your wrong.

"A good debate requires you to pay attention."

a good response should have sources that agree with what you're saying.

"If you are ignorant enough to search for chemical advice from people other than chemists I can only hope that you do not fall off the end of the Earth while searching for them."

I'm not looking for chemical advice in those articles im looking for woodworking advice. find a wood working article that agrees that you should sand the wood to 2000 before you apply an oil finish. that is what we were talking about...right?

"And............CUT!!!"

Exactly.


Guys, come on. At some point you've just got to call it quits without trying to get the last word in.
