Just wanted to announce to REOville that I am once again a proud papa! I "adopted" a beautiful Utile/Ebony mini woodvil!!:banana: I must put a shout out to Jan (JC Oakley) and thank her sooo much! I was lucky enough awhile back to get a mini woodvil from Honkey Kong but got it stolen. I'm sure you regular thead readers have read my story. So I have been whining now for a few months how I would love to find another mini but I gave up hope as they are scarce, not made any more, and regarded as family members to those that own them and to be never parted with!
Jan found it in her heart to reach out to me and offer to put one of her babies up for adoption only to a caring potential parent that would love, appreciate, and take care of it. I jumped at the chance before she changed her mind.
Thank you so much Jan for the offer as I know it must have been hard to part with. She is a beauty!! I can't stop looking at it, holding it, and am in vaping heaven with a Hornet sitting on top of it. It doesn't get any better!
I purchased a mini Bogger box mod for Christmas as I knew that new woodvils would be a long wait. While I will say that the Bogger is very nice it just does not compare to the feel of a mini woodvil in my hand! So, my new cocobolo/ebony Bogger is going into the classys.
Thanks again and now I can spare you all any more whining!!:thumbs: mini w 2.jpgmini w 3.jpgmini w.jpg

After I took the pictures I went and wiped it down with some lemon oil. You should see her now!! Should have done it before I took the pictures. It is simply stunning now after buffing out with the lemon oil. :)
Question for you, I think I remember you saying you had some Hornets. Do you have the stainless or the aluminum one? I am trying to determine if one is better than the other besides the aluminum comes in colors. Tell Ratman nothing personal about the Bogger as I know he has one, it's just that the mini feels so much better!

Congrats Rudy! That sure is a nice Mini Woodvil!

You should pick up some Howard's Feed and Wax. It works great on our wood REO's. It needs to be put on the inside and outside. It will shine and protect. I use it on all of mine.

Ratman loves the feel of the Wood REOs, too, so he knows. He loves his Boggers, but he loves his REOs, too. He's just a pv junkie. Ha. (*wink* *wink* to Ratman.)
