    Rod wax

    I give a polish with Nu Finish polish a couple times a year. Seems to keep it cleaner and also a little extra distance. Cleaner for sure, Extra distance maybe my imagination.

    A friend of mine recently gave me a wild turkey fan. The bad news is that when I went to get a feather off it, the bugs had beat me to it. The good news is that I had kept it away from my other...

    Many thanks to everyone. It seems to me that whatever works for you is fine, that there are no strict rules as to how many wings, or the orientation. I have always been amazed at a shadow box full of...
