Re: Sticks in extreme Northern climates
You will find Watco Danish Oil at RONA in Fort Qu'Appelle, 298 , Victoria Avenue, Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan, S0G 1S0 It's available in different tints. I use the natural on my vintage stick. http://www.rona.ca/en/danish-oil-finish-80455298--1baggetthouse wrote: Great ideas guys. I will do the DIY soap box deal AND check out Watco oil...also to see how my wood box craft will do with Watco.

Re: Sticks in extreme Northern climates
Yeah a small can of Watco will last you like forever. Humidification is a must. I am in Edmonton AB and the weather swings pretty quick. Like -45 one day and 0 the next lol. Love that small soapbox idea. Im a gonna steal that idea.

If you can install a small Hygrometer on your case, you can always tell when to dampen the sponge again. DDibbly wrote: Humidification is a must. I am in Edmonton AB and the weather swings pretty quick. Like -45 one day and 0 the next lol. Love that small soapbox idea. Im a gonna steal that idea.

They've played my album quite a bit on their jazz & prog shows, so I started paying attention to them. Great programming. The Organ Grinder - an all organ-based show on Wed afternoons is pretty nice. (I'm a sucker for quality radio).

Re: Sticks in extreme Northern climates
I don't gig at all. I am just a stick hack lol. I work full time and have family medical concerns that take up most of my free time. I do know Dale. Have met her on several occasions. Very cool lady and a awesome stick player. have not had the pleasure of jamming with her. My wife and I try to support her whenever I can. Have been to a few house concerts with her and Nathan Aswell. I am trying to devote more time to playing because it such a stress relief, and its just so damn cool.
Cheers

Re: Sticks in extreme Northern climates
I bought a 1-quart can of Watco way back when I got my first Stick in 1993/94. I was applying it on my solid Rosewood and solid Teak Grands with every string change. I've hardly made a dent in it. Granted, I have had a graphite XG Grand for the past 11 years, and my SG12 is Sunset-stained bamboo, so it doesn't get used it on my Sticks anymore, but I still use it on my guitar fingerboards and the wood finishes on my Stick stands. (I do crack the can open every so often and take a whiff of the oil, just for old time's sake - "New Stick Smell™") As to the issue of "fret sprout," traditionally, it is best to address them when the issue is occurring - file down the edges when they are most prominent. Then, when the humidity rises, the fret/rail/rod ends will be recessed ever so slightly. Take care, Paul
