Howdy All
I just recently decided to try the thread that Chuck Burrows likes to use, the Barbours Linen, 5 cord left twist in natural white and the Bees Wax & Pine Pitch rendered and blended together as a wax for my thread, I followed Little Al's instructional information on the best way to make the bees wax and pine pitch blend, and it worked out great, Thanks Little Al, I have to say this is the finest thread I've used yet, and I can see why Chuck Burrows likes it so well, I also used Marshal Will's suggestion of dragging the wax down from the both needles to the center, I gave each side about 6 strokes each, that made since to me, and the thread seemed to pass through the leather much more smoothly, this wax and pine pitch is nice to work with, and like what was said it smells good too, I like the look of this thread too, it presents its self real well after being stitched. And a special thanks to CowboyWC, for turning me on to the Stitching Chisel.
So thanks Chuck,Little Al, Marshal Will and CowboyWC for this good information
Best Regards
