Removing the smeared blood trail left behind on tiger maple after
you've cut yourself (unnoticed) on the freshly burnished edge.

Gee, who'da thought?

You shake hands with people that have blood on them? Ew.

Charlie:

All my pinkies have tiny little slices on them, and one palm has a
pretty good nick where the burnisher slipped off the edge, leaving my
off hand only one place toend up, and that place was sharp! So I don't
want to shake hands.

I suspect the "secret handshake" does not involve any contact, but I
still have a lot to learn.

The damn things do leave a nice finish though, and lots of neat little
curlies on the floor.

Regards.

Well you obviously wasn't thinking. If you'd bled enough to cover
the whole thing you wouldn'e have had to remove it. Should have been an
interesting finish, you could have honestly said it was hand made.

LOL - I've got to 'hand' it to you there - I'd never thought of that
before. It would even fluoresce under UV light! (For a while)
Probably a good thing it doesn't catch on, though - I'd hate to get
woodworkers into a competition with the red cross. And if I wanted to
get a project done, I don't think I'd be patient enough to wait the
whole 8 weeks between donations/coats.

Seriously, I still haven't gotten really good at burnishing, but I'm
always scared that my hand/the burnisher will slip exactly as you
described.

Hope you heal soon,
Andy

I think coffee is easier to use, though maybe not as cheap.. *g*
