Another way to burnish, is to glue a piece of cowhide, (smooth side up), onto a strip of hardwood. The cowhide is the initial burnishing and the hardwood makes it VERY slippery and shiny. I use it on jacks, bridges, etc. About 6" to 8" long is a workable size. Approx. 1" to 1 1/2" wide. About a 1/4" thick. Use your imagination and whatever is available. <G> Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) I'm never lost, because everyone is telling me where to go. <G>
