[TheForge] Doffer (Was: blackened steel finish)

[Jerry Frost]

Thanks Bruce. I've also found the lanolin finish is a lot more durable than 
I thought it'd be but not contaminating wool was my reason for giving it a 
try.

We have raw wool but buying a tube of lanolin will be the next step, it does 
indeed smell better but sheep wool isn't particularly unpleasant.

Yeah, no question grand mal, hospital, neurologist and possible most 
reliably the vet all say so. Next time I see our vet you can be sure I'm 
asking her where she really put the needle. She's used to my sense of humor 
and better yet, reacts wonderfully, just the look on her face while she 
decides if I'm serious or not will be worth the trip. <grin>
