a strtr set right now, but it may also be a pretty damned nice piece if

Not pledge, never pledge!!!

And the reason is . . . . . . .

Really depends on your future intentions. Pledge containes silicone and
that's going to cause problems for you if you decide later to refinish
it (or for anybody else who decides to refinish it). If you have
absolutely no intention of ever refinishing it and don't care what
problems you cause for the next guy (or the plan is that it ends up
firewood after a while) then Pledge is fine.
