Hey Mark

Ever used Camelia oil, I see it advertised at carbatec and if ever I am 
rich I shall buy some things from them

http://www.carbatec.co.nz/product/1178-camelia-oil-240ml-d06e04

This is supposed to be some kind of magic rust protecting oil.

I rubbed my axe in the failed (read very smelly) paste wax experiment (I 
used turps) last time I sharpened it and it was pristine the next time I 
went to use it, after some scraping to remove the wax, seems like a good 
solution for seldom used tool baldes or exposed steel.
