What kind of dye is used for darkening the checkering? India ink?

Yes, I was mistaken in saying 20g. I was half asleep and trying to rest after a hard morning of clearing 18" of snow. Was not thinking right.

I use a leather due to darken the checkering. Then seal over it.

What's a 'leather due'?


I know... we have 9" now and expect another 3-5 on top of the two + feet we got late last week.

Sometimes I want to throw my phone in the garbage. I type things correctly and then It changes to something I don't want!

Yeah, that and 'autocorrect', the bane of someone who is smarter than his phone....

Most people I know have shut that option off.

Beautiful work Brian. I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone in saying that you are a very welcome addition to the group here and have changed the face of Parker restoration and repair. I think lot Parkers that were on or beyond life support will see generations of additional use after you do your magic on them. You are very good at what you do.

I did that, then found out I misspelled so many words that I had to turn it back on

Beautiful job again Brian.

If it's not a trade secret, I would like to ask what you use to achieve the
final surface finish. I really like that look.
