But the real question is....

Which Woodvil is Bronze shooting for tonight ? :D:lol::lol::lol::w00t::D;):facepalm:
They're gorgeous Pop. But I have one mechanical now and don't use it but 5% of the time. I don't need another mechanical. Keep us posted on his sale. I'm sure he will do good.

Papaw, I am so happy for you. Two of them. I bet you are thrilled out of your mind. I got the ONE, and I am almost in shock. The site had some hiccups for me. I just knew it was gone. Especially when you kept talking about the plunger mods going fast. My heart sunk. But I got it, and I am very thrilled! #6 Cocobolo with plunger. I will add pic in a minute.

I picked this one because of my arthritis. Hopefully it will help. It isn't too hard to squonk now, but it will get worse over time. Anyway, I think this one is gorgeous.

I was afraid a storm would mess up my shopping transaction. It didn't. But it just poured and storms look like they are imminent. Anyway, I dodged it just in the nick of time. That is probably why the internet was hiccupping for me. The Dallas area was getting pounded. I am having my victory drink right now, for my lovely mod. Glass number 2. I am a happy camper, that's for sure. :banana:

kkay, I believe your Woodvil has a Natural Oil finish (I'll double check).
You will need to wax that one about once a month. Most Reonauts recommend / use Howard's brand wood waxes. I personally use Howard's Feed-n-Wax, which can be purchased at Home Depot. Be careful about using cheaper waxes, you don't want to discolor that beauty !

Nice Papaw , I really like that Maple Burl on the top , gorgeous wood there .

Thanks retic. I think I'll place the brass Cyclone on that one, and a brass RM2 on the other.
I've had those RBA's for nearly three months now. This night has been planned :thumb:

Both have Plunger Door and Polyurethane finish. Just the way I like them !

Papaw...your choices are beautiful. I especially like the top one. Yes, mine has a natural oil finish. I checked Lowe's and Home Depot, neither carry the Howard's stuff. I want the one with uv protection..the SunShield. I have mineral oil. I don't mind adding oil, or polishing. My hands would have taken the poly off the mod before long anyway. I have acidic skin or something. I have a thumb print on the handle of my truck...the clear coat is totally gone there now.

kkay, that cocobolo woodvil is gorgeous! Well done!!
Thank you Pappy. I didn't want to fight over some of the top ones. This one had my eye from the beginning. Plus it was the kind with the plunger. I cannot believe my luck in getting it. My number 2 choice went fast. Number 3 is still available. I wish someone would hurry up and buy that one......lol. If I would have had the money, I definitely would have got two. But as it is, I am pushing it getting the one. I was very lucky to get my first choice. I am glad you like it too Pappy.
