It also, he reckons, gives wood a near invisible but protective coat. I haven't tried it but think it might be worth a try. The border pipes he made for Paul Martin are a visual and sonic delight so I'm very happy to take his word on this. Anthony
Hi Anthony - and every one else ! Forgive me for being a little of a spoilsport with my warnings and explanations - but : Yes, lemon oil is an effective cleaning agent. However it is a bit more agressive that it may appear at first. Care should be taken to keep it off anything painted or lacquered and also it tends to break down many plastic-materials in a slow process that may not become noticed before tiny cracks begin to develop in the plastic long time after the lemon oil was used.
