bbart Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Shiver me timbers, I just bought some replica pistols for me and me crew on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Replica-Pirate-Flintlo...1QQcmdZViewItem I realize that they are not historically accurate since they are non functioning replicas so I don't need to use what was used in the period, although I could. But I wanted to put something on the wood to protect it and give it a little more shine. Would you recommend something like mineral oil, I already have some that I use for my cutting boards, or should I use varnish. The oil would be the easiest. Anyone have any recomendations

bbart Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 $12.00???Not bad!! I'd buy a couple for the kids.... ANd me if that's the price!! Rats The price is whatever the bidding goes up to currently $20.50 plus $12 shipping. you just have to watch the auction and see where it ends. This seller has been selling the same gun for a few months one at a time he must have a lot. I actually lost the bid to someone else that bid about $34. My bid was 31, after it ended I was given a second chance offer to buy at my bid price of $31 plus the shipping. I actually ended up buying three for about $40 each with shipping. I only attached the ebay link so you could see the picture of the actual gun. I think I'm going to end up using some mineral oil on one and see how it turns out.
Ol Man From the Sea Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 try BOILED linseed oil or Watco oil or something like that. mineral oil won't dry for a very long time and thus be a bit of a mess.
Capt. Sterling Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Is it true that the Denix factory burned to the ground? Someone mentioned that in passing a few months back, in which case, 40 bucks a pop may be a very good price to grab some of the ones that are left....

I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
