    Center Ball

    when I got some lessons from ray martin he showed me how to get position using different types of center ball, changing the angle off the rail by moving up or down just a hair made a big difference. I found it much harder than using english to get the angles needed for shape. I got the feeling...

    Fake Schon on ebay???? Or is it real????

    ebay doesn't care if it's $10 or 100,000 they won't take it off. I've written them lots of times and they send you a form letter saying that they are looking into it then nothing happens. That's all folks. He already said he is selling it as a SCHON so he is protected. Maybe it hits good.

    Question about ferrules

    eBay Question

    I'd use magic eraser I would use magic eraser with a little water or alcohol and rub with the grain being careful not to get on the finished areas. I tried it a couple times and it works really well but does raise the grain. You will have to burnish it afterwards. I don't think FL remembers how...
