Wow, Daniel!

Having no prior knowledge of your background; I must confess that this effort has certainly far-exceeded any initial expectations I may have entertained when you first announced your undertaking of the task at hand. Bravo, mate! You are doing a splendid job!

Cheers!

As usual .. wonderful work Dan.

Beeswax is commonly mentioned, as is some commercial product called "Sno-Seal", and then saddle soap.
