All those changes might be enough to keep you content for a while. Probably long enough to sneakily build a Keller kit without the Mrs. getting keen to your scheme.
i'm interested in trying the tung oil. would you recommend it on poplar shells? and what do you use to apply it?
thanks :D
honestly i'm probably going to try to recut my bearing edges as well sometime down the road. they are BEAT UP from when i had no idea what i was doing way back when i got this kit
