Gum wood? Is that like the Eucalyptus Gum trees in Australia?
I do believe that is the one. It's real hard real heavy and tough as all get out. I've done lots of marine work with it. It is my favorite wood.

Any one going for a Mini Woodvil or a Woodvil 18490 will be pleased to know I am only going for Woodvils!!!
Any one going for a Woodvil................well..........you better..........hope you are quicker than me!
I am not going for these: Cocobolo, Jatoba, Ebony, Purpleheart, Curly Oak, Quarter Sawn Oak, or any Woodvil that is NOT only one wood.
Don't have enough Karen?![]()
what happened?!
With the wood REO"s sale date getting closer I hope all the potential buyers have their Howard's Feed & Wax!
Even with the oiled REO's you can use the wax! Especially on the inside!
SunSheild is what I use. The UV protectant helps keep the colors from darkening or fading.
You can find it online or at some local stores. A bottle will last a very long time!
Use the Howard's Feed and Wax on them inside and out. I use a Q-Tip to get into all the inside crevices. Use a soft cloth and my fingers to do the outside of the body and door. Don't forget the back of the door!
You can get the Sunshield that has UV protection. It is recommended for woods that lose color or change color over time.
I have lots of wood REO's and they ALL get Howard's SunShield.
If you can, put it on and let it sit overnight. Next morning wipe and buff to a shine.
It is true that the poly coat won't absorb the wax or oil in the wax. But it forms a coating on the poly. Read what they say on the Howard's site.

they will change position on the site did you look at all the pages.
Woke up early this morning and for the 1st time in several weeks I instinctively reached for my REO. Some days are harder than others.So I had to peek at the site again. I'm telling you if I were buying a REO from this lot of gorgeous wood REOs then this one would have to be my 1st choice.

Do we need to bring them to you house to use your fingers or will you stop by my house? JK Thanks for the great info. Good to know I can get it locally.
Yeah I did. Checked all even the woodvils and the 14500 minis and even the blemished mods. It's gone.![]()
I found the one I like I just hope I don't have to compete with Karen for it. But if I don't get it I hope she gets it if she wants it too.

That's weird that mods are gone - I thought one of mine was gone, but it's still there. The number of mods hasn't gone down, so I wonder what happened?
