[Cob] perfect oil!

[Yun Que]

   Cat here!

    If you have got to have oil then here is what they did in Japan
   before opening up to Europe...they would wipe down their floors...with
   water from their baths.  Since they soaped up, washed and rinsed out
   side of the soaking bath the only thing that went into the water was
   nice clean skin oil. Important when lots of people use the same
   water.

   The culture supported and admired this kind of fastidious labor, it
   took generations to get a sumptuous polish on the floor.  The damp
   wipe allowed the water to act as the vehicle to move the oil into the
   wood.

     (any one see Fight Club?)  Of course by now most American fat must
   be somewhat carcinogenic.  check out a book called "Japanese Homes and
   Their Surroundings" by Edward S. Morse.  copyright 1961 Dover
   Publications.  Wonderfully readable book about hand made houses and
   the society that built them.


   for the good of all C.
