I will say for GP I have tried Cisco's as well. He's good, but more expensive than Isaac and I don't think they're as good. He seems to be more consistently stocked, but there's a price the consumer pays for constant production. I know from conversations I've had with Isaac that he'll gladly send back a whole production line if it shows serious inconsistencies. Because of this he gets more respect from his manufacturers over time and his customers aren't stuck with product that isn't DOA, but definitely sub-par.
Hi tiff,
It's confidential for now, as I've yet to see if it's (a certain technique) going to be practical...I'll share once I see how it turns out.
I want to do some Birdseye Maples, because they are just so pretty, then the Cali pepper, and I'll Chainsaw then resaw some of the highly figured native (has grown wild here for thousands of years) Honey Mesquite...
and we'll see
thanks
fono
I'm hunting down a source for fruit woods also...

Can't wait to see them fono. Is the Cali pepper going to be resistant to shine like the walnut? I'm not sure where I read that in this thread, but I think i remember you were saying because of the smoothness of the wood it doesn't take as much oil. Am I remembering this correctly?
Glad you mentioned it---I need more LOL
Real nice, they all were good ...thanks
Got some cherry coming from Amish Country too
Thanks OMG
fono
Yeah, got-a do more of those---the Padauk was good match to the Babinga...
good Call !! tif
fono
I'm glad you liked them...very realistic tasting (to me)...not candy or flavor-in-a-bottle...

Do you not answer my questions on purpose fono? You're starting to give me a complex 
sorry
what question? I'm old remember
BTW I got some stealth adapters for 901 and 801. They work great with this feed system! The needle pokes just above the adapter and feeds my 801 and 808s really well. I'm big on the 306 and 510s for LV, but use the 801 and 901 for HV. I've been loving them. Check them out if you use adapters on your Phidias. I got mine at avidvaper.com but more and more vendors are carrying them.
Well, you can make anything shine if you dump enough slickum on it...
It's just not my style though---shiney feels slippery, greasy-- and that's no way for a fine piece of wood work to feel...
You can add to my finish, and that's a feature really....
The denser the wood the more it will shine in time...
These are all hardwoods, well not the Pine really but it has other qualities, weight for one...
I put days into the finish on a Phid, and having them protected is really my only goal.
they are shiny when I'm done with the last coat, but I hand rub them out with a 0000 abrasive pad after that to make them smooth and take the shine off...
I do that.
right-on
fono
PS. it's the right thing to do...

I'm of the same school of thought. I oil mine up once a week overnight and wipe it clean in the morning. Not sure if the mineral oil protects or what, but I feel good doing a little maintenance on my phirst born. I'm expecting another. The gestation period is short on these little beauties!
