Art Buchanan

Thanks for the kind words Daniel. Maybe we can create our own show and brag posts to go along with the other good ole boys here. The way one learns that they are a great artist is when they have critics. For what it is worth---I didn't get the idea from a magazine or a book---and palm it off as my idea. Many years ago I did some furniture restore work. I guy brought me a piece made of walnut with a missing part. He also brought a piece of walnut for me to make the part. He apologised for fact that his Dad had set his old oil can of the walnut for some time. He wanted to use that piece of walnut for sentimental reasons. I spent days getting the oil out of that piece of walnut using the paste paint and varnish remover. Have been useing same method on Luger grips and military gunstocks since. Phil--hope you grips come out OK.
