<html> Thank you Paul for answering the original question.  Anyone else have comparisons of the two products? Carman ================================================= We've used Howard's for years.  It leaves a coating over the original finish that dries. You get a nice patina when it's done. Old English is like old motor oil, and soaks into raw wood but doesn't dry.  It leaves an oily sheen.    Howard's helps spiff up the finish when you have an old clunker to sell.  Just get the proper color to match what you've got.  Good ventilation is essential, too, as it's kinda smelly.
