Glad that worked out for you.
The one thing abut Johnson's wax is that mineral spirits is a solvent for it so you can clean up corners etc. or soften it to make it go on easier. There are better brands at the WW stores but they're twice as expensive.
As far as the charges go, I think you could find a $100 variance if you polled the members.

I have a paste wood workers wax but it is old and dried. Tried it on sample of leather, but was not satisfied with it. Will be in larger town this week and get some Johnson's. FYI I have worked wood for 25 years. Rarely throw any small pieces of walnut, oak, ash, pine, maple away. Frequently will glue up narrow pieces for future use, possibly with some clocks.
Thanks again,
Sam

I now can understand the charges for this piece. This week visited Hobby Lobby for a frame. My piece is 4 3/4" tall X 20" long. Frames are on half price. Picked out a pretty frame. Full price was $57.00. Shocked me, but this week is half price sale. Makes me want to enter the framing business.

Sam,
What is half of a retail price that has been doubled? It is normal retail and still gets you in the store. :-)
