Quite impressive.

That was me, and yes, it's the same stuff.

If you're back this way in March, we'll be holding another one. Come if you can. A bit of a drive, I know, but the event is always enjoyable.

I have quite a bit of leftover linen shirt fabric that I've never thrown away; pieces too small to do anything with, & too big to throw away. These get cut up into small squares & turned into char cloth. Last March, a fellow camper at a rendezvous told me about ocum, & gave me a fairly...
