With some of my free time I have been doing some woodworking though not the kind you would normally associate with the term. I have been doing what I call dry scraping. I have two 1920s wood boxes from the Imperial Oil Company. Both were covered with a fair amount of dirt and grease that covered up a lot of the writing. Taking a rounded end x-acto knife blade I have slowly scraped away this grunge to reveal all the lettering again. I realize that some people prefer them left alone but I don't. It is a time consuming process but in my view the results are worth the effort. Cheers, Don.
