Don't know if fettish fits. The post starts there, but soon goes in several interesting directions. It will be a post I copy before it cycles off, forever. I will also re-read that copy several more times, I know, whenever the itch to refinish hits again.

I look at it mostly as an explanation of certain British "best practices", per stock finishing and stock finishing components. Some of these methods and materials have then been put to use by several readers while the post has run and feedback has come back to fuel more discussion and learning. In short, it is a stock finisher's "soap". Long live this particular soap.
