The finish on these gauges is pretty thin (you can't put much on the shaft, obviously, or they'd stick) but I've got some Bull oak gauges that were the first I used Shellawax on. They've been in constant use for over 20 years now, & they are holding up well, so I'm hopeful the gauges you folk have received will do likewise. Just use 'em frequently, I think skin oils are highly beneficial to wood.......

Hi Ian,

David brought in his hairy oak set last week, and I just wanted to drop you a line to say that they are absolutely gorgeous! What great work!

I'll have to keep my eye out for the next lot
Have a great Xmas / NY,

cheers
