[Woodcarver] Finish for cottonwood bark carving

[Richard Faulkner]

I find that an old shoe brush works just fine to buff the boot ans shoe cream.  
Get the kind made from horsehair as that will get into all the little crevasses 
without hurting the bark.  I thik you can still get them at WalMart in the shoe 
dept.

Hi Larry, (BTW, great name)
 
The buffing brush that Loren was referring to is code number 554301.  It runs 
$49.95 and is on our website so you can see what it looks like.
 
Wish I was retired so I can sit and write long, wordy e-mails.  :o)
 
Let me know what you want to order and I’ll take care of it for you.  Send an 
e-mail directly to thewoodcraftshop at mchsi.com and we can discuss payment 
options.

Hi Mr. Yudis,

I was planning on ordering one jar each of the Meltonian boot and cream 
polish,813160,813161,813162,813163. Also as I recall a Ms. Woodward suggested 
that you sold a brush that could also be used for brushing a bark carving. If 
you have time could you give me just a little info. on the brush and the cost. I 
talked with a woodcraft home the other day. Spoke with a Sam as I recall, he 
furnished a number of 333243 but when I did the search it showed no results. 
Woodcraft does not accept my credit card Amex. So do you think they would ship 
and send me a bill or me send a check and wait for it to clear before my order 
is shipped. I know I want the polish and I'm thinking I would buy two brushes 
depending on what you think of the brushes and mail one to my brother he carves 
as . Thanks for your time. I know this is wordy, but shucks I'm retired so what 
else do I have to do. 

Thanks for your time I really appreciate it.

Hi Larry, Naomi and Dick,

Mr. Bark Boy himself, Rick Jensen, likes using the "MELTONIAN BOOT & SHOE
CREAM POLISH - #1 NEUTRAL" for finishing his whimsical bark houses.

We happen to carry it (813160 - $2.95), as well as white (813161), black
(813162) and green (813163) that are used for accent colors on the houses.

I use neutral shoe cream for cottonwood bark carvings, that just darkens it
slightly.
